This is the big day of the festival. 

The festival will start at 9 a.m. and go until 8 p.m. The schedule has not been published yet. 

During the festival you can choose your own adventure but know we are here to assist you. 

Wake up rested after a big day of books. 

10:30 a.m. – Meet up with the group for our exclusive brunch bookclub with best selling author Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney. We’ll be discussing her latest book – Lake Effect.

A wry and tender portrait of two families forever changed by one lovestruck decision that reverberates for decades.

“A sparkling novel of love and family and the wreckage of a passionate affair. Lake Effect is tender and bittersweet, a joyful classic in the making.”

— Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street
