SUMMARY:Louisville Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Louisville Book Festival will be held in downtown Louisville\, KY on October 18th and 19th from 10 am to 6 pm at the Kentucky International Convention Center. \nThis 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. \nOur 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. \nAbout: \nThe Louisville Book Festival is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization founded in 2018 to celebrate and promote the love and the benefits of reading\, writing\, and literacy. \nWe believe that literacy is a fundamental human right and that there is power and purpose in bringing books to life every day of the year. We celebrate books and use them to highlight and grow the resilient culture of our vibrant city\, as well as to encourage and elevate our creative thinking as a community.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elijah Wald | Speaker Event & Music Performance
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 5th\, we are honored to host a very special evening with Elijah Wald\, author of “Dylan Goes Electric!” \nElijah will discuss his influential book’s adaptation for the upcoming Bob Dylan biographical film “A Complete Unknown”\, starring Timothée Chalamet\, in theaters this Christmas. \nFollowing the discussion\, Elijah\, a grammy award-winning musician as well as music historian\, will perform a selection of songs from Dylan’s catalog as well as other American folk classics. \nOn the evening of July 25\, 1965\, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival backed by an electric band and roared into a blistering version of “Maggie’s Farm\,” followed by his new rock hit\, “Like a Rolling Stone.” The audience of committed folkies and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet (mixed with some young rock fans who loved the Byrds and Beatles and his new sound) reacted with a mix of shock\, booing\, and cheers. It was the shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence\, the end of the folk revival\, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music. \nWald’s visit promises a rare blend of live music and storytelling\, making this an unmissable evening for music lovers and Dylan fans alike. \nLimited $10 tickets are available on OpenTable. \n  \n***Description from website
