About the VA Fes­ti­val of the Book:

As the largest gath­er­ing of authors, writ­ers, and read­ers in the Com­mon­wealth, and, indeed, the Mid-Atlantic region, the Book Fes­ti­val has become an inte­gral part of the com­mu­nity and is pre­sented in a unique part­ner­ship of con­trib­u­tors that includes the VFH, foun­da­tions, cor­po­ra­tions, book­stores, schools, libraries, area busi­nesses and orga­ni­za­tions, and com­mit­ted indi­vid­u­als. This part­ner­ship results in pro­grams in a wide range of top­ics set among a vari­ety of venues through­out the City of Char­lottesville, County of Albe­marle, and the Uni­ver­sity of Virginia.
