Florida

Florida's book fair calendar is anchored by the Miami Book Fair, hosted each November by Miami Dade College and known as one of the largest literary festivals in the country, bringing hundreds of authors together with readers over a multi-day event that mixes ticketed programming with a large free street fair.

Elsewhere in the state, regional fairs and festivals serve Florida's sizable and diverse reading public, often built around local independent bookstores, libraries, and university partnerships. The subtropical climate also makes Florida a popular host for events scheduled in the cooler months.
