Books and Bites: A Festival Celebration
Join Bookmarks as we celebrate the authors of our 2023 Festival of Books and Authors! Meet and mingle with writers and fellow book lovers as you have your Festival books signed!
Bypass the book tent and signing lines on Saturday by attending our first-ever Books & Bites! Meet the featured Saturday Festival authors and chat with them about their books and buy copies to get signed. You'll also have the chance to meet some of the local authors in our community who Bookmarks has previously hosted such as Charlie Lovett, Stacy McAnulty, Sarah McCoy, Belinda Smith-Sullivan, Ed Southern, Phoebe Zerwick, and Joanna Lowell. Have your picture made all while enjoying refreshments with a community of book lovers!
