Book Festivals by State

State guide

Wyoming

The Jackson Hole Book Festival is the Wyoming festival verified here. Its site says the festival returns in 2026 with authors and thinkers for an all-day, free festival, and it invites readers to start the featured books early. It says the organization is a nonprofit that brings writers to the Teton region for public conversations, and it names the venue as Trailborn Jackson Hole at Snow King, 400 East Snow King Avenue, Jackson, WY 83001. The page says a 2026 schedule of panels and conversations is posted. The Wyoming State Library is the state agency. It says it is the official repository of state government documents and is responsible for extending library service statewide.

Checked against official sources on October 11, 2026. Rules and links change; confirm with the office listed before you act.

Free admission is explicit: the festival site says the all-day event is free for everyone. The venue line is also explicit, down to the street address and a phone number for Trailborn Jackson Hole. That is enough to plan a trip to Jackson without guessing a lodge. The site says it has hosted hundreds of writers, from prize winners to debut novelists, since it was founded. This guide does not copy the 2026 panel list. Readers should use the schedule link on jacksonholebookfestival.org.

The nonprofit description emphasizes conversation rather than a used-book parking lot. Panels, keynotes, and book signings are the forms the site names. Someone who wants a ticketed gala should not assume one; the homepage language used here says the festival day is free. If a side event has a cost, it would need to be stated on that schedule, which this guide does not reprint. Keep Wyoming festival plans and everyday library errands on the separate links in this entry, then recheck both.

The Wyoming State Library’s role is documents and statewide library development. Use library.wyo.gov for that work and the festival site for the Jackson day. No second Wyoming book festival was verified. The Snow King address is the venue fact to save, and the schedule page is the fact that will change. When two Wyoming pages disagree, use the page that states the date or the service, and ignore an undated repost.
