Whether you check books out of the library, download
them from the internet or share your passion for the latest novel at
weekly gatherings of your local book club, the MIAMI BOOK FAIR
INTERNATIONAL celebrates everything to love about the craft of writing.
Filling the streets of Downtown Miami and the Wolfson Campus of
Miami-Dade Community College with thousands of avid readers, the fair
comprises an outdoor jamboree of publishers, authors, children's
storytellers and noted cookbook-crafting chefs. Seminars are scheduled
throughout the college offering an up close and personal glimpse of some
of the most famous and infamous writers, politicians and humorists of
our time.
The Miami Book Fair attracts hundreds of thousands
of locals to events that honor International authors including a
dedicated IberoAmerican writers program, a Children's Alley of theater,
arts and comic books, and an Antiquarian gallery of signed first
editions, original manuscripts and other collectibles. The Street Fair
closes the avenues around the Miami Dade Campus to cars so that colorful
tents filled with more than 350 authors and publishers can help bring
their works to life. The popular series "Evenings With..." showcases
readings and discussions by some of the most recognizable authors from
around the world.
In the months before the book fair kicks off, the
official website provides updated information on programs and events
including a rapidly growing roster of guest speakers who have included
former US Presidents, Secretaries of State and major movie stars. Links
on the site offer a limited number of advance tickets to readings and
seminars that are often free but require online registration to attend.
If you fancy an evening with Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Ariana Huffington,
Iggy Pop or Anthony Bourdain, be sure to get your name on the guest list
as soon as the ticket site goes live. The Book Fair transforms Downtown
Miami into an eight day literary party that grows larger and more
exciting every year.
Miami Book Fair International, 401 NE Second Avenue,
