About this event
Each year, the Mississippi Book Festival unites readers and authors in an exhilarating celebration of books.
The Capitol's stately rooms and nearby Galloway Church turn into venues for distinguished panelists, the streets in-between transform into a bustling marketplace for booksellers, and the grounds and Capitol Rotunda become a hub of lively exchange. FREE AND OPEN TO ALL , the festival brings the written word to fun, festive life with authors, panel discussions, book signings, family-friendly activities, food trucks, live music, and more!
Committed to making a positive impact on the cultural life of our state, funders are the lifeblood of the festival. At the August event these essential supporters are recognized through a host of special opportunities, many of which are customized to meet charitable and/or marketing objectives. Through their generosity the festival remains Free and open to all.
Hundreds of contemporary authors - national, regional and local - connect directly with fans and new readers at the festival each year. Official Panelists are invited to contribute to in-depth discussions and sign books, while Authors Alley hosts dozens of self-published authors selling their works.
The festival offers an exceptional opportunity for individuals, retailers, organizations, and vendors to sell or distribute books, goods, information, and foods. With four different ways to participate, you're sure to find a perfect fit.
Our tireless volunteers power the festival-with more than 300 coming together each year to greet guests, give directions, ensure safety, and execute countless essential tasks to make the day and weekend run smoothly.
This ten-acre booklover's paradise, set in and around the State Capitol Building, draws hundreds of visiting authors each year to engage with each other and the public to discuss their latest works. Dozens of panel discussions on a wide range of topics, book signings, Booksellers Row, Authors Alley, family-friendly activities, food trucks, Capitol tours, and much more, make this event one for the books!
The festival celebrates the hottest new books and the storytellers behind them in a dynamic forum that is open to all. Discussion panels, scheduled throughout the day in air-conditioned venues, consist of one or more authors engaging in an hour-long conversation. Topics include fiction, narrative non-fiction, poetry, children's literature, young adult and more!
On Booksellers Row, beloved independent booksellers from around the region sell the day's featured titles, keeping the festival's finger on the pulse of the reading public.
