Tucson Festival of Books turns 10: So much to see, do over 2 days

If getting there is half the fun, then being at the Tucson Festival of Books this year should count for much more. How about 10 times more?

The Tucson Festival of Books, our never-ending story, now in its 10th year of capturing the hearts and minds of tens of thousands of book lovers, has become a must-see destination where memories add up and where words and imagination come to life.

And at 10, the Tucson Festival of Books has all the wonder of a wide-eyed youngster at an amusement park. There’s so much to see, and so little time.

As you traverse the 5.5 acres of books and more at the festival, you’re experiencing one of the largest literary events in the country. The best journey through hundreds of author presentations, book signings and activities will be the one you map out.

If you attend both days , and I encourage you to make it a family outing, that’s 10 author sessions, five each day. And somewhere in that schedule, you’ll find a moment to take on nourishment and visit the many booksellers and exhibitors.

This fast-paced and family-friendly festival has the power to delight from head to toe. Learning, eating and walking around the beautiful campus of the University of Arizona will fully engage the senses.
