Tens of thousands of people will head to Eastern Market this weekend for the Detroit Festival of Books. Now in its second year, this event brings together bookworms of all ages to peruse a huge selection of both new and used books. There will be 200 vendors on site selling used, rare, antiquarian, and unusual books, as well as new books from local authors. In addition to all of the great books, you will also find vinyl records, comic books, vintage board games, and other unusual items. Plus DJ Zig-Zag will be there playing funk music, and there will be food trucks, and beer! There is definitely something for everyone at this event!
