Review:

The Portland Book Festival is held every November at the Portland Art Museum (and other neighboring venues). The festival enjoys the participation of over 100 well-known writers and literature celebrities, making it an absolute must-attend event for all readers and aspiring writers. You can expect to find no less than nine event stages as well as a number of pop-up reading venues, over 80 book vendors and many other partner events spread across theatres and other venues. Aspiring writers can attend up to 13 writer’s workshops and families have access to many fun children’s activities including story-telling and craft sessions. You can kick off your literature adventure by joining Lit Crawl Portland, which takes place the night before the start of the festival.
