2025 Authors' Expo & Readers' Extravaganza 

The most prominent way authors may take part in our Festival is through our Authors' Expo & Readers' Extravaganza set for Saturday, February 22, 2025.

During the Expo, Authors have opportunities to engage with over 1300 Readers in an up-close and personal way to showcase and sell their books.  Readers will be able to engage with more than 100 exhibiting authors in a personal way about their work and what inspires them.  There are Celebrity Author breakout presentations, led by New York Times best-selling authors, book signing session, food trucks, and a variety of activities designed to keep both Authors and Readers engaged, educated, and entertained through activities throughout the day.  ​

The Kids Zone is available to keep the young ones engaged. Ultimately, you’ll find unlimited opportunities to enrich your life with books in a fun loving, festive atmosphere. ​
