How a Tradition Begins
Most of the writers come to the festival free of charge, sent by their publishers to promote a book. “Many of the biggest names that we have, we don’t pay a cent for,” said Cheatham.

This diversity has been most dramatic in the festivals held at the riverbank, such as the seven-day multi-genre Riverbend Festival, now in its 15th year. CultureFest ‘99, with the promise of being an annual event, was held at the new Coolidge Park last year and specifically celebrated the city’s cultural diversity in music, dance, art and food.
