This free event, sponsored by H-E-B Helping Here, offers a weeklong celebration of culture and imagination through a lineup of diverse authors and engaging events.
The festival’s main day on Saturday, November 2, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., will feature 25 authors, hands-on activities, food vendors, community partners, and a kiddie train for children. Attendees can purchase books from the festival’s exclusive bookseller, The Storybook Garden, and have them signed by their favorite authors.
