Festival of Books

For you bookish types (and yes, they do exist here in Los Angeles, contrary to popular belief), this weekend is the annual L.A. Times Festival of Books at UCLA. Non-stop panels on all aspects of the literary world, from writing to publishing, will run both days, along with entertainment, children's activities, readings, book signings, famous authors, and of course, lots and lots of books for sale.

The festival takes place on the UCLA campus, Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27. Admission is free and parking is available at UCLA lots for $8. There will be free shuttles from outlying lots.

Outdoor events are free, but tickets are required for the indoor panels and speaker sessions. These can be purchased in advance for 75 cents at various locations and through Ticketmaster. Some tickets will be available on site. Click here for more info on ticketing procedures.
