First, the basics:
The 23rd annual Library of Congress National Book Festival will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, August 12, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (doors open at 8:30 a.m.). The event is free and open to the public. A selection of programs will be livestreamed online and videos of all programs will be available shortly after the Festival. Attendees may expect enhanced safety and security measures when entering the Convention Center.
Here's a good website for starters:
And now:
The Authors (more than 70....count 'em!): https://www.loc.gov/events/2023-national-book-festival/authors/
And don't forget the goodies! Free poster, free carry-all bag, and all those little tchotchkes that will be given away at various booths: bookmarks, stickers, pencils, keychains, notepads, maybe some kid's puzzles and small toys, and yes, even some books!
And it's all FREE!
The LOC National BookFest is the main reasons not to leave DC for the whole of August!

The "Get Out!" event of the week is published on the Cleveland Park Listserv and on All Life Is Local on Thursdays.
