I
love festivals. Whether it’s a convention or a carnival, I love it when
people congregate to show their appreciation for a common interest, or simply
to celebrate and have fun.
This
is a fantastic annual outdoor event that draws thousands of lovers of books and
more. I’m proud to say I’ll be with TRW again at a brand-new book festival in
November called Inspire! The Toronto International Book Fair.
I’ve
yet to go to either the RWA Nationals conference or the RT Book Lovers Convention, but one day I hope to, if only to meet
my wonderful colleagues who write for Harlequin Superromance.

FanExpo Canada in Toronto. This was on a slow day. |
One
day. I’d also like to go to a Renaissance fair. Call me a romantic, but I love the
idea of medieval-themed gatherings. Walking around a fairground with a roasted
turkey leg in hand is on my bucket list. And since the airing of the Outlander TV series, I wouldn’t mind
seeing a Scottish Highland games event, either. Who doesn’t want to watch burly
men in kilts hucking logs across a field in a caber toss?
What
kinds of festivals do you like to go to? Are there any you’ve always wanted to
attend? Let me know in the comments below!

I've never been to a renaissance faire or a highland games either, and I want to go! I recently went to an art and wine festival with some girlfriends. It was a nice way to relax together, looking at pretty stuff and drinking great wine!
A Renaissance Fair would be so much fun. Any kind of book event would be fabulous too.
