Harrisburg Book Festival
Read. Connect. Engage.
Proudly presented by the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, the Harrisburg Book Festival takes place in the heart of Pennsylvania’s state capital. Featuring an outdoor tent sale, award-winning authors, and children's day programming — all while surrounded by hundreds of thousands of books at one of the nation's leading independent bookstores — the Harrisburg Book Festival celebrates the power of storytelling and its ability to unite, delight, and inspire.
Stay tuned for updates on the 12th Annual Harrisburg Book Festival, which will take place in October 2024.
