The 2020 Louisiana Book Festival has been canceled! We will return in the fall of 2021. Watch this site for information.

The Louisiana Center for the Book in the State Library of Louisiana is proud to present the 17th edition of this free, world-class literary celebration. Come join the fun in the fall of 2021, downtown at the State Library of Louisiana, the State Capitol, the Capitol Park Museum, the Capitol Park Welcome Center, and nearby locations.

Whether you're young or old, enjoy puzzling over a good mystery, have a thirst for history, can't get enough of poetry or love to cook up some great Louisiana dishes, our national award winning event has something for every book lover.

The Louisiana Book Festival is your chance to meet exceptional writers while enjoying book-related activities and presentations.
