Birmingham Public Library’s most popular event is back! The Eat Drink Read Write Festival will be held from October 3rd to 10th, 2014 and will feature the area’s best food and beverage offerings served up with a literary twist. Poetry paired with craft beer and soul food, an evening of storytelling and latte art, a cocktail contest with a Jazz Age literary theme—-these are just some of the delectable delights in store. There’s a reason Birmingham is known as a foodie town, and we want to show our residents and visitors why we’re constantly heralded as a culinary destination. Festival Partners Eat Drink, Read Write is produced by The Birmingham Public Library (BPL) and partner organizations.
