Get lost in a book with your favorite author at the Kentucky Book Festival, happening Saturday, Oct. 21 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Each year, thousands of Kentuckians attend this free festival to find new books to add to their shelf, and shake the hand of the people who wrote them. This year 150 authors are featured at the fest.

Attendees can:

  • Browse the author’s gallery and meet their favorite writers
  • Attend presentations and book signings
  • Visit the children’s tent for family-friendly fun
  • Buy books (and get ahead on holiday shopping)
