The 2024 Louisville Book Festival will be held in downtown Louisville, KY on October 18th and 19th from 10 am to 5pm at the Kentucky International Convention Center. This year will continue to give us the opportunity to celebrate the city’s culture and resiliency, while striving towards the goal that all children have access to books in their home. Highway 65 is the divide between east and west Louisville. West of 65, there are no book stores which greatly reduces access to books for our children and youth, creating a book desert.
