The crowds are big as the largest literary and cultural event in the nation returns to the USC University Park Campus after a two-year virtual break.
The Book Prizes ceremony at USC’s Bovard Auditorium is a prologue to this weekend’s Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC, the nation’s largest literary and cultural festival.
Considered the largest literary and cultural festival in the nation, the event is expected to draw more than 150,000 attendees Saturday and Sunday.
Two big events on the same weekend mean parking will be at a premium, so public transit is probably your best option.
Installation of tents and other structures across much of the campus is underway as this weekend’s event approaches.
