The Mississippi Book Festival is a beloved literary lawn party that brings together readers, writers, and thinkers in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi. Founded in 2015 by literacy advocates, this festival has grown into a community cornerstone where conversations, readings, and panel discussions unfold on the State Capitol grounds and nearby venues. Each year, the festival draws thousands of attendees from across the region to celebrate books and the art of storytelling.
