Concord Festival of Authors Events at UMass Lowell
Now in its 16th year, the Concord Festival of Authors is the preeminent annual literary event in the Boston area. Programs are held in several venues in Concord, a town that revels in its historic and literary heritage, and in Lowell, a city whose history and diversity are the source of its vitality. The mission of the Foundation is to promote books and authors, to present the work of contemporary authors to the public, and to provide forums for authors to discuss their work.
