Event Description / Other Info:
The 2024 Louisville Book Festival is a free event held in downtown Louisville, KY on October 18th and 19th from 10 am to 5 pm at the Kentucky International Convention Center.
There will be over 150 authors and bookish vendors at this event. You will have the opportunity to meet some amazing authors and hear from them at panels and workshops.
This year will continue to give us the opportunity to celebrate the city’s culture and resiliency, while striving towards the goal that all children have access to books in their home.
Highway 65 is the divide between east and west Louisville. West of 65, there are no book stores which greatly reduces access to books for our children and youth, creating a book desert.
Our goal for the Louisville Book Festival is to ensure every child that attends the Book Festival on Children’s Day leaves with at least one free age appropriate book.
We will continue to work on the goal of getting books in to the hands of children year round through our programs like It Pays to Read. Authors and the full program schedule will be available on the website.
