2024 Gaithersburg Book Festival In Photos

The 15th annual Gaithersburg Book Festival took place on May 18 at Bohrer Park at Summit Hall Farm in Gaithersburg, Md. More than 8,500 book lovers attended despite the inclement weather. This year's event featured more than 130 authors of all genres, including 35 children's authors and eight YA authors, including Derrick Barnes, Cece Bell, Brian Lies, Carole Lindstrom, Katherine Marsh, James Ransome, Gary Schmidt, and Carole Boston Weatherford.

The festival also included free writing workshops with activities such as poetry writing, bookmaking, collage art, a "from song to story" session with Grammy Award winner Mister G, writing a magical forest journal, and more. Politics & Prose hosted a pop-up bookstore where visitors could purchase new books and have them signed by their favorite artists. In the Children's Village, kids could find Waldo, Peter Rabbit, Clifford and other characters, and everyone was treated to cake in celebration of the festival's anniversary. We've gathered highlights from the events. Photos courtesy of the City of Gaithersburg, Bruce Guthrie and Daniel Martinez.

    beyond the valley 2022 :: Article Creator All The Fun With None Of The Buzz, The Story Behind Montana's Only Non-alcoholic Bar Hold My Bar is a fascinating blend of contradictions. It's a bar that observes Dry January all year, serving zero-proof and non-alcoholic drinks. But it's not just any bar — it's a 1976 horse trailer transformed into a prohibition-era oasis. And despite its modest Instagram following, Hold My Bar has a dedicated fan base that travels to farmers markets in Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Kalispell for a taste of its refreshing concoctions. Since February, Hold My Bar, Montana's first non-alcoholic bar, has been a hub of community activity. From its vintage horse trailer, uniquely named beverages like "The Witch Doctor" and "Magical Rose Margarita" are served al fresco, both in the Flathead Valley during weekday markets as well as at pop-up locations across the state.

    sarasota music festival :: Article Creator Musicians Playing By Ear In Improvised Sarasota Music Festival Concerts Cellist Mike Block has warm memories of the two summers he spent studying and performing as a fellow at the Sarasota Music Festival in 2003 and 2004. "It was the combination of the music, the people and the weather. The Sarasota Music Festival was the only festival I ever returned to when I was student age," Block said. He's returning for the first time this summer as a faculty member who plans to shake things up and hopefully change how the participants – and audiences – think about and perform music. Block began exploring improvisation and non-Western music during his undergraduate years at Cleveland Institute of Music and while earning his graduate degree at Juilliard, and since then, "my professional direction has taken me very explicitly away from Western classical music. The things I'm most passionat...
