Mississippi Book Festival
September 14, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Each year, the Mississippi Book Festival unites readers and authors in an exhilarating celebration of books.
MHC is proud to be a major sponsor of the festival since it began 10 years ago. We will sponsor several panels including a highlight of our prison education program.
The Capitol’s stately rooms and nearby Galloway Church turn into venues for distinguished panelists, the streets in-between transform into a bustling marketplace for booksellers, and the grounds and Capitol Rotunda become a hub of lively exchange. FREE AND OPEN TO ALL, the festival brings the written word to fun, festive life with authors, panel discussions, book signings, family-friendly activities, food trucks, live music, and more!
