The day begins bright and early at 9 a.m. in Capital Square, 400 Locust St. Guests will be greeted by spring book and coffee pairings from Storyhouse Bookpub and Daisy Chain Coffee while musical guest Abbie Sawyer performs on the main stage. Then there’s plenty more to see and do in the packed schedule. The main event is free, but VIP tickets offer additional perks and programs to enjoy.
