DOWNTOWN BOOKFEST
Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Grand Park, 200 N. Grand Ave.
Hungry for literature? Read your heart out at the Downtown BookFest in Grand Park. The all-day event will host independent author readings, book-making demonstrations and performances. If you’re looking to discover new books, The Last Bookstore in collaboration with Writ Large will be hosting a pop-up bookstore in the park, which will feature select independent and used books. If you go but don’t necessarily want to purchase a book, you also have the option of curling up on the grass with a book borrowed from one of the four miniature lending libraries that will be set up. Finally, for those who have more than a figurative hunger for something, never fear, there will be food trucks on site to satisfy empty stomachs.
