Kentucky Book Festival 2025

A program of Kentucky Humanities, the Kentucky Book Festival is a celebration of reading, writing, and publishing that takes place each fall. Festival events seek to connect book lovers and authors, spark engaging conversations, and empower readers by providing access to new books and opportunities to learn more about writing in a fun, supportive environment. It’s the biggest bookish celebration in Kentucky!

In our 44th celebration of the Saturday flagship KBF, we will host over 150 authors with a full day of programming and activities for all ages at Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Lexington Green. We will announce the author lineup and specific programming details in the next few months.
