WBUR is proud to be a presenting partner of the Boston Book Festival (BBF). The Boston Book Festival celebrates the power of words to stimulate, agitate, unite, delight and inspire by holding year-round events culminating in an annual, free Festival that promotes a culture of reading and ideas and enhances the vibrancy of our city.
The festival kicks off in Copley Square on the evening of October 18, followed by a full line-up of panels, keynotes, readings, children’s activities and workshops in Copley Square and in Roxbury on Sunday, October 20. Be sure to stop by the WBUR booth on October 19 to meet WBUR hosts and reporters who are moderating sessions throughout the festival and win great prizes!
