Mississippi Book Festival

  • MS State Capitol Bldg 400 High Street Jackson, MS, 39201 United States (map)

A Literary Lawn Party

Each August, the Mississippi Book Festival unites readrs and authors in an exhilarating celebration of books.

The Capitol’s stately rooms and nearby Galloway Church turn into venues for distinguished panelists, the streets in-between transform into a bustling marketplace for booksellers, and the grounds and Capitol Rotunda become a hub of lively exchange. FREE AND OPEN TO ALL, the festival brings the written word to fun, festive life with authors, panel discussions, book signings, family-friendly activities, food trucks, live music, and more!
