Festival finder
Pick a state to see verified book festivals or the official library and arts program.
Choose a state to see the rules we verified and official links. Or search your city, county or ZIP.
How to use it
If the state page says no festival was verified, that is a gap in what we could confirm, not a claim that no reading event exists. Use the state library link.
When a festival is named, open its site for the current year. We do not copy a full schedule onto this site.
The planner is a reading aid. It repeats the agency, the credential or court, and the official link stored for that state. It does not file a form, check a live license, or decide a dispute. Open the state pages for the longer explanation and the source links, or search a city or ZIP to find the state guide.
If a field says it was not published, we did not verify that number or roster. Use the official page named on the state guide, and send us a correction if the agency has posted an update.
What this tool will not do
Event details change. A listing is not a ticket, an endorsement, or a promise that this year's festival will be held. Confirm dates on the organizer's page.
