Book Bacchanal is an event dedicated to authors reading from their works. We have several New York Times best-selling authors in the line up this year. We are also featuring new and emerging authors as well. This is also an opportunity for local poets to share their poetry in open mic. Of course to add to the festive air, there will be music and cultural dancers to include moko jumbies. The Frederiksted waterfront  is a perfect backdrop to this eclectic event.
