24 Days until the NH Book Festival!

Kate DiCamillo

Over the next several weeks we will be counting down the days until the NH Book Festival with a series of posts about the many fabulous programs planned for this premier cultural event which kicks off on Friday, October 4, 2024.

Most of the festival programs are scheduled for Saturday, October 5 and will be free for everyone to attend. 

On Friday the festival kicks off with two ticketed events which are helping to fund the free Saturday programming:

Kate DiCamillo will be giving a Children's Keynote at 10am (which is sold out!) and Jean Hanff Korelitz will give the Inaugural Festival Keynote at 7pm at the Capitol Center for the Arts. A few tickets for the evening event are still available. 

On Saturday night, at 5pm, the Capitol Center will again host Ms. DiCamillo for a ticketed program, the Family Keynote: From Novel to Netflix: How The Magician’s Elephant Became a Beloved Animated Movie.

A unique, live presentation by two-time Newbery Medal winning author whose works include bestsellers Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, and the Mercy Watson series. DiCamillo discusses her beloved novel The Magician’s Elephant and the behind-the-scenes story on how it became a Netflix Original movie. Bonus: Tickets include a copy of The Magician’s Elephant and a screening of the movie.

 

I hope to see you there!
