We suggest arriving at least 10 minutes early to each venue to ensure seats are available. Seating in each venue is on a first-come, first-served basis.

2012 parking
Parking on the U of A campus is free on the dates of the Festival. All garages and surface lots are free except the Second Street Garage, which is reserved for authors and moderators.

‘Get your program!’
The Festival’s program will be a special section inserted into the Arizona Daily Star on Sunday, March 4. Additional copies will also be available at Information booths at the Festival.

Yes, I’ve been to this wildly popular book event for the 3 previous years, listening to various authors speak about their poetry, prose, etc. as well as helping out at our Tucsoncitizen.com booth last year. There’s also lots of music, food for sale, children’s activities.

And since the last 3 festivals have been packed, may I suggest people catch the Sun Tran bus (routes # 4 and # 3 run right by the UA) to this event, or bicycle, walk, carpool, etc. Parking will be tight.
