Founded by Nevada Humanities in 2002, the Las Vegas Book Festival is a celebration of the written, spoken, and illustrated word that features authors participating in a full schedule of panel discussions, book signings, readings, workshops, poetry, children's literature, exhibitions, and special events. It is the largest literary event in Nevada with a goal to provide discourse and build community focus on the promotion of reading and literacy in Nevada. The Las Vegas Book Festival is held annually every fall.

The 2019 Las Vegas Book Festival will be held on October 19, 2019. Visit lasvegasbookfestival.com for details.
