Fort Collins Book Fest 2024 Logo

About Us

The Fort Collins Book Fest was conceived by librarians, writers, book lovers, and community members with the simple purpose: to combine the community’s passion for the literary arts and our unique cultural heritage in a celebration of literature, literacy, and social conversation.

This year, community members are invited to join fellow book lovers February 1-19 for the 8th annual Fort Collins Book Fest: One Community, Many Stories. The festival includes author talks, writing workshops, kid and teen activities, readings, books signings, panel discussions, and other creative activities. All sessions are free to attend and open to the public.

The inaugural FoCo Book Fest took place in 2016 with the theme Brewin’ Up Books, a nod to the social and economic influence of craft beer on the region. As Fort Collins is frequently referred to as the “Napa Valley of craft beer,” it seemed fitting to launch the book festival at the intersection of books and brews. 

The Fort Collins Books Festival is proud to present the event free of charge, thanks to the generous support of corporate and academic sponsors, foundations, and individuals. It’s a testament to the strength of ongoing community partnerships, producers of the annual festival, and the strength of creative arts that support for the Book Fest continues to grow.
