Boston Book Festival

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.
