With a bevy of book-centric activities to pique interest and inspire, the family-friendly Crozet Book Fest brings the rites of writing front and center. Friday features Bookish Trivia with Olivia to kick off a slate of events, followed by a Saturday full of panel discussions and more. Learn about the ins and outs of being a writer, enjoy s’mores around a campfire as YA authors share stories, and partake in dramatic readings of crowd-sourced Mad Libs. The authors of Charlottesville Fantastic—an anthology of unusual stories digging into the mystical qualities of the city—will discuss the book and draw connections between the ordinary and extraordinary in our region.
Friday 10/25–Saturday 10/26. Free, RSVPs encouraged. Times and locations vary. bluebirdcrozet.com
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
