About Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books began in 1996 with a simple goal: to bring together the people who create books with the people who love to read them. The festival was an immediate success and has become the largest and most prestigious book festival in the country, attracting more than 140,000 book lovers each year.

People of all ages from across Southern California and even other parts
of the country. The festival is a free public event, and includes
exciting author events, storytelling, cooking demonstrations and poetry
readings. The Festival of Books also includes nearly 300 exhibitor
booths representing booksellers, publishers, literacy and cultural
organizations.
