More than 100 authors and moderators will gather for the 21st Portland Book Festival on Saturday, an event featuring literary discussions, pop-up readings, a book fair and local food trucks. And for the first time in the festival’s history, it’s completely sold out.
So lit, it sold out: All Portland Book Festival tickets bought in advance for first time
For anyone who wasn’t able to get festival tickets (or simply needs more book-related activity), community partners will host special literary events through the “Cover to Cover” program until Sunday across the Portland metro region.
