At the largest independent book festival in the country—now in its seventh year—around 75,000 book lovers descend on Decatur Square for lectures, signings, and readings by emerging and bestselling writers. Tracks include romance, health, cooking, business, sports, poetry, juvenile fiction, and more. Newly anointed U.S. poet laureate Natasha Trethewey is this year’s keynote speaker. Event Site
