University of Southern California: L.A. Times Festival of Books Attracts Large Crowds to USC University Park Campus

For SoCal book lovers, there was only one place to be this weekend: the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC.

The two-day event — the largest literary and cultural festival in the nation — was expected to draw more than 155,000 people when it wraps up late Sunday afternoon.

Among the attractions are an array of literary stars participating in panels, conversations and signings. The festival also offers many celebrity-focused events including RuPaul, George Stephanopoulos, Mark Harmon, Lauren Graham, Kerry Washington, Henry Winkler and Tamron Hall.

Also on the agenda: complimentary health screenings, arts and crafts, and more. And of course — books galore.
