Harrisburg Book Festival

OCTOBER 9th - October 13th, 2024

Proudly presented by the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, the Harrisburg Book Festival celebrates the written word and its power to inspire, provoke, and delight. Featuring an outdoor tent sale, award-winning authors, and children’s day programming, the Harrisburg Book Festival promotes a culture of reading and community in the heart of Pennsylvania’s state capital — all while surrounded by thousands of books at one of the nation’s leading independent bookstores.
