Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

Web: http://events.latimes.com/festivalofbooks/

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books began in 1996 with a simple goal: to bring together the people who create books with the people who love to read them. The festival was an immediate success and has evolved to include live bands, poetry readings, chef demos, cultural entertainment and artists creating their work on-site. Thereâ€™s also a photography exhibit, film screenings followed by Q&Aâ€™s and discussion panels on some of todayâ€™s hottest topics.

Where:

University of Southern California
Los Angeles, CA
US

When:

April 26 to April 27, 2025
