Events will take place at libraries, the Windsor and Royal Borough Museum, Windsor Guildhall, Waterstones and the Windsor and Eton Brewery.
Among the themes celebrated in the festival will be 'Shakespeare's Local', 'Armies of Rome' and 'Great Queens'.
The festival will run until Saturday, November 17.
