Louisiana's excellent annual literary festival returns this year, bringing hundreds of authors, literary-minded organizations, and bibliophiles together again, at last. Sprawling over the grounds of the Louisiana State Capitol, the State Library of Louisiana, Capitol Park Museum, and Capitol Park Event Center; expect book talks, workshops, signings, and plenty more literary loveliness. 

9 am–4 pm. Free. Full event schedule at louisianabookfestival.org, and tickets to the annual Wordshops writing workshops at bontempstix.com.
