From the President:
Thank you for taking an interest in the 6th Annual Easton Book Festival! We look forward to another opportunity to engage writers and readers of all ages in a variety of venues throughout beautiful historic Easton, PA.
The Easton Book Festival exists at the crossroads of art and community, bringing authors into our local schools, libraries, galleries, bookstores, and downtown businesses. This year we will include a mix of local and out-of-town voices and welcome one and all to join in a full week of programs beginning on October 14th with an emphasis of children’s programs and story times at the Easton Public library and culminating on the the weekend of October 19th and 20th when downtown Easton will be chock full of panel discussions, poetry, performances, workshops, interviews, and more. Our festival is always lovingly curated, walkable and almost all events are 100% free thanks to the generous support of our sponsors!
The EBF Board of Directors wishes to thank everyone who has supported our efforts to make this incredible event successful, including our sponsors, patrons, presenters and community partners.
Words mean many different things to different people. They express our rage, our fear or our joy. They are a source of mystery or romance and they spirit us off to wondrous places. Come celebrate words with us at the 2024 Easton Book Festival!
