The Annapolis Book Festival is free to attend and open to all!

Every year thousands of people enjoy this community Festival that celebrates the beauty, power, passion, and excitement of the written word.

The Festival will celebrate its 21st year in 2024, bringing nationally renowned authors to the community to discuss their books and the craft of writing and featuring a day filled with children's activities, live music, food, and a huge used book sale.

 

I'd like to...

The Annapolis Book Festival is thrilled to partner with Old Fox Books and Coffeehouse, a local bookstore located on Maryland Avenue, as the supplier for the Festival.
