State guide
Book festivals by state
Book festivals are local. Some are run by a state library. Others are independent nonprofits, university programs, or city fairs. This guide names a festival only after we opened its official site or a government page that describes it. If we could not verify a statewide festival, the state page says so and points to the state library or arts council instead of inventing an event. Check the organizer before you travel. A page can announce a year off.
