Morristown's Festival Of Books Announces Dates For 3rd Annual Event

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – From a concept by some reading enthusiasts to a premier event in New Jersey, the Morristown Festival of Books is becoming that must-read novel you pick up each year and enjoy more with each page.

Not even five months after its second annual event, the wildly successful gathering of authors and readers in a handful of locations throughout the County Seat has already set its sights on year three, announcing this week it’s fall dates.

Friday, Sept. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 1 will be the dates for year three’s event, with the only ticketed event taking place on night one at the Mayo Performing Arts Center on South Street.

The 2015 event featured 32 award-winning authors and nearly 3,500 attendees, along with a sold-out Keynote Address on opening night.

The 2016 lineup of authors and keynote speakers will be announced later this spring, the organizing committee said.

The festival’s volunteers are looking to add forces to its team. Anyone interested in joining the group can email info@morristownbooks.org.
