Florence Festival of Books
The Florence Festival of Books is an exciting celebration of reading featuring more than 70 authors and 10 publishers. This festive two-day event is held every September on the FEC flat floor. The book fair is free and open to the public, and a special ticketed guest author lecture is often part of the weekend.
Learn from Renowned Authors
The festival of books includes a panel discussion featuring renowned authors and publishers who focus on one writing or publishing topic. We'll kick off the event with a well-known keynote speaker. Past notables have included Bob Welch, Jane Kirkpatrick, Amy Stewart, and Philip Margolin.
Hear the Stories Behind the Stories
The book fair fills the venue’s nearly 8000 square-foot flat floor with authors and publishers ready to meet and greet you and describe, sign, and sell books. It is a fantastic time to hear the stories behind the stories and pick up some excellent new reads. And if you are an aspiring author, a chance to pitch an idea or manuscript to a publisher.
