Young or old, lovers of poetry or those who want to learn to cook some original Louisiana dishes, the Louisiana Book Festival attracts all book lovers. Every year in November, for one day, Baton Rouge hosts the largest book festival in Louisiana, a world-class literary celebration that is open and free for everyone. Held at the various locations in downtown Baton Rouge, this event is a great opportunity for exhibitors such as authors, booksellers, publishing houses, and scholarly programs to promote their products and services to thousands of festival participants. The festival is also a unique opportunity for booklovers to meet exceptional writers and storytellers and to take part in a variety of book-related activities and exhibitions. The festival, established in 2002, is sponsored by the Louisiana Center for the Book and the State Library of Louisiana.
