The Fair, in its 30th year, will open Sunday November 17th with the popular Evenings With… series, featuring six nights of readings and discussions with noted authors from the United States and around the world.
On Friday, the Street Fair gets under way. The highlight of the Street Fair is the Festival of Authors, with more than 350 authors reading and discussing their work, including the Latin American and Spanish authors who participate in the IberoAmerican Authors Program. Thousands of South Florida schoolchildren will help kick off the Street Fair, making the trip downtown Friday to hear authors and participate in Children’s Alley activities, including theater, arts-and-crafts, storytelling and readings by children’s book authors. Comics and graphic novels are once again featured, with the school of comics on Friday and a new section just for kids and teens, as well as presentations over the weekend by renowned graphic novelists and illustrators.
During Street Fair weekend, more than 250 publishers and booksellers exhibit and sell books, with special features like the antiquarians, who showcase of signed first editions, original manuscripts and other collectibles.
The Miami Book Fair is more than a great festival, it’s a community brought together by shared passions — a passion for books and reading, and for making South Florida a great place to live, work, play and learn. We are extremely proud to help create this event alongside our never-tiring Book Fair team, the 1500 volunteers who bring their bright smiles and goodwill, the hundreds of authors (and others!) who share their talent, and the hundreds of thousands of people who pour into downtown Miami every November to enjoy it all. Thank you!
