2024 Mississippi Book Festival moves to September
SUMMARY: The 2024 Mississippi Book Festival has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 14 at the State Capitol Complex in Jackson. The change from the usual August date is aimed at improving the visitor experience and working better for publishers, authors, schools, colleges, and universities. The decision to move to a fall date was influenced by the intense heat during the previous August event. The 2023 festival saw over 6,700 attendees who listened to nearly 170 participating authors in 47 panels. Additionally, Pearl Chipotle will open on Thursday, coinciding with the festival.
