Festival Events
The Annapolis Book Festival offers a full day of author panels, family and children's activities and live entertainment.
The Festival is free and open to all and attendees are encouraged to make a day of it. We're certain you'll find something to appeal to everyone. If you need help deciding where to go or what to do, we'll have dozens of volunteers on hand to answer questions and provide suggestions.
Food trucks will be on-site to provide refreshments. Browse our literary marketplace and new and used book sales. And check out the raffle baskets for some incredible prizes!

Due to a family emergency, Representative James Clyburn will no longer be able to join us at the Festival. While we will certainly miss his presence and message, we’re pleased to offer an outstanding lineup of authors in Katharine Hall who will inform, entertain, and engage.
