The Charlotte African American Book Festival is back for it's second year.
Charlotte African American Book Festival celebrates African Americans contributions to literature, books, literacy, and the literary culture. It will be held Saturday, June 8, 2024 - from 11am to 5pm in the historic Second Ward Gymnasium located at 710 E. MLK Jr. Blvd. in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.
The African American Book Festival was built to give the cemented and newly emerging authors, bookstores, and publishers of our culture a platform to spread the messages embedded in the pages of their iconography. With one goal in mind, we want to educate, entertain, and impact the Charlotte community by shining light on the stories told in their books.
This event is a great opportunity for community members to meet and engage with their favorite black authors. There will be several featured authors.
Come out to support, meet them face to face, get pictures, buy books, network with other professionals, and bring back reading books into normalcy.
What you can expect?
This event will feature authors and publisher exhibits, discussions, book signings, food, entertainment, networking and door prize.
Open and free to the public, come out and enjoy this community festival that celebrates the beauty, power, passion, and excitement of the written word.
