In 2023, we’re launching new community events to be held with local partners at locations around the Nashville area. We hope these events help introduce the festival to new audiences and welcome long-time fans. These events will be held Sunday, October 15 through Thursday, October 19.

On Saturday, October 21 and Sunday, October 22, we invite you to join us for the full Festival experience – author sessions, book signings, food trucks, performance stages, and exhibitors. Learn more here.
