Save the date for the first ever Possumtown Book Fest on August 24, 2024 and check out the lineup at possumtownbookfest.com.

The Possumtown Book Fest will be a full day of bookish fun and festivities celebrating the love of reading —- and it is FREE to attend! We're working on bringing some fantastic authors to the Friendly City, with something for everyone.

The Columbus Arts Council is graciously providing the space for the big day, and we are proud to have the support of the Mississippi Humanities Council, the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System, Friends of the Library, and the Columbus-Lowndes Convention & Visitors Bureau along with partners like the Mississippi Book Festival and Rooted Magazine.

The Possumtown Book Fest is presented by Friendly City Books and the Friendly City Books Community Connection, a special project of the CREATE Foundation.
