Edible Book Festival

Part literary, part culinary, and part artistic, the Edible Book Festival is sure to tickle your taste buds, and your funny bone! This edible art exhibition will feature “books,” made of food and inspired by a book or pun on a book title, that are exhibited, documented, and then consumed.

The event will be held at Third Place Commons in the Lake Forest Park Town Center on April 2 at 11am, 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. Your creation should be inspired by a book, but made out of edible ingredients—sweet or savory. It may look like a book, tablet, or scroll...or be completely unique. Check out www.books2eat.com for inspiration, and then register your delectable literary creation at www.shorelinearts.net/opportunities by March 28.

This is an all age’s event and books will be judged in the following categories:

• Most PUNderful

• Best Visual Presentation

• Most Creative Use of Ingredients

• Special Judge’s Award

• People’s Choice Award

Entries will be judged in two age brackets: Adult & K-12.

Everyone present can vote for the People’s Choice Award.

11:00 – Check in. Bring your creation (along with the book that was your inspiration) and appropriate serving utensils to Third Place Commons.

12:00pm – Judging, viewing, & documentation. If you want to come and view the books without submitting an entry, please come at this time. This is also the time to submit your vote for the People’s Choice Award!

1:00pm – All ballots handed in.

1:15pm – Prizes awarded!

1:30pm – CONSUME THE EDIBLE BOOKS! (with punch & coffee)
