Celebrate the joy of reading at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, happening April 18–19 at the USC campus! This free, weekend-long event brings together hundreds of authors, storytellers, and book lovers for panels, signings, performances, and family-friendly activities across indoor and outdoor stages.
Find LAist at not one, but two booths - Booth 154 hosted by our marketing team and Booth 723 hosted by our Education team - where we’ll be connecting with the community, giving away free books, and sharing plenty of LAist swag. Whether you’re catching a panel or just exploring the festival, stop by to say hello and be part of one of the country’s largest celebrations of storytelling. No RSVP is Required.
