Nose in a book? Why not? It's the LA Times Festival of Books!
Nothing less than an extravaganza, it's the L.A. Times Festival of Books on UCLA's green and tree-lined campus. There'll be authors, exhibits, music, interviews, outdoor stages, storytelling, kids activities -- we've been at it 13 years and we've pretty much got this thing figured out.
The shindig kicks off with an awards ceremony tonight. (Ticket info at UCLA’s Central Ticket Office: 310-825-2101.)
A list of authors here, and a bunch of great interviews in Jacket Copy, our lit blog.
Want to hear the authors in action? We've got panels Saturday and Sunday.
How do you get there? Driving directions here. Don't want to fight the traffic? Try taking the bus.
There's food and drink for sale, ATMs in case you run short of cash, plenty of places for home-style picnics, and Westwood Village nearby for those who don't mind a little stroll.
Events are free, but you do need a ticket to get in. Space in popular panels goes fast, so plan ahead. Ticket info here.
See you there!
