The Edible Book
Festival is back and FREE for all ages!
Readers: Start your ovens! As part of the International Edible
Book Festival the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council will be hosting a
local Edible Book Festival at Third Place Commons located within the Town
Center at Lake Forest Park. Bibliophiles, book artists and food lovers will
unite to create edible books that are exhibited, document and then consumed!
Edible books are made of food and inspired by a book or pun on a book title.
This March 29 event will be held from 11am – 3pm, and is free
and open to the public. Come out and enjoy these mouthwatering manuscripts, or
brave your aprons to create your own succulent storybook. Get inspired at www.books2eat.com. Your creation should be inspired by a
book, but made out of edible ingredients. It may look like a book, tablet or scroll, or be completely unique. Entries may be sweet or savory.
This is an all age’s event with judging categories for the following age groups: K-6 grade, 7-12 grade, and adult. Register the
title of your creation at slfp.ediblebooks@gmail.com before March 25: Name -
Age/level - Title of your Edible Book
