F.R.E.S.H. BOOK FESTIVAL 2023
A READING REVOLUTION
COMES TO DAYTONA BEACH
F.R.E.S.H. Book Festival returns for its annual on-site "all things books" weekend in Daytona Beach.
The 2021 in-person festival set the tone for the weekend. After going virtual and
international in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, F.R.E.S.H. returned with new faces
and new reasons to continue promoting "Literacy is a Legacy."
