Following November's tradition, the Miami Book Fair will celebrate local, national and international authors with talks, panels, live performances, a street fair, and different activations at Miami Dade College in Downtown Miami. Founded in 1984 by a group of educators, independent booksellers, and librarians, the fair facilitates knowledge and conversations about diverse topics from politics to nature and pop culture.
The TML team rounded up a selection of 10 events that we believe will catch your eye. From a special book reading and performance by Patti Smith to a discussion about the preservation of our beloved manatees. Most of the events below are free with the $8 fair admission.
