One of the biggest events in Downtown Miami is the Miami Book Fair International.
In 1984 the first book fair was only two-day as a street fair, and grew steadily each year. And now, each November, the eight days book fair brings hundreds of thousands of book lovers to the streets of downtown Miami. It is better than a party!
This year the Fair will start on Sunday, November 8th with the well known ‘Evenings With’ series and then six nights of readings and discussions with authors from the United States and from many places all around the world.
According to the Miami Book Fair website “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. Comix Galaxy is back this year, with a 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.”
I am sure you won’t lose this magic event. Your imagination deserves live this faire tale: to be around with an uncounted number of books and imagine yourself as the protagonist of each story.
