There’s a lot of magic contained in the written word. With just a flick of their pen and a few clicks of the keyboard, authors have the ability to take us on powerful journeys. Whether we’re traveling around the world or cozying up in our own home, books can be enjoyed everywhere and anywhere. However, here in Cleveland, there is one enchanting independent book store that offers a selection of literature that’s truly standout, and it is arguably the most darling destination to get wrapped up in a story. If you’ve never visited, its upcoming literature festival is an event you simply can’t miss.
If you’re a lover of all things literary, you’ll adore this book festival happening soon in Greater Cleveland.
Cleveland is home to many talented artists, both in terms of art and rhetoric. When it comes to the written word, there’s only one epic festival that gathers more than two dozen local authors and offers the public the opportunity to engage with them.
Held at the perfectly purple Loganberry Books, Author Alley is an annual celebration that brings together local authors during the coveted Larchmere Festival.
This year’s event takes place on July 6 from noon to 4 p.m. Attendees adore exploring the written works of brand new and seasoned authors alike, and many head home with what just may become their new favorite book.

The event not only celebrates the efforts of local authors — it also offers attendees an opportunity to get to know the charming Larchmere neighborhood and enjoy games, music, and street food.
Larchmere Boulevard is an enchanting economic district that is absolutely vibrant. Located just north of the familiar Shaker Square, this district offers visitors unique shopping opportunities combined with flawless service. You’ll love wandering through the festivity-enriched area between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
While alleys have a reputation for being somewhat creepy, you’ll feel like you are strolling along the edge of a ginormous bookshelf thanks to a larger-than-life mural.
And you’ll doubtlessly fall in love with the bookstore’s offerings.
Since 1994, Loganberry Books has been known as the local hot spot for new, used, and rare books. With more than 100,000 to choose from, you’ll find yourself in publication paradise at this enchanting storefront.
Be sure to add Author Alley to your calendar, because this unique event is one you won’t want to miss!
Please note: Due to the unpredictable Northeast Ohio weather, Author Alley may be held inside Loganberry Books.
