About Us

The Fort Collins Book Fest was conceived in 2016 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.

Community members are invited to join fellow book lovers in February 2025 for the 9th annual Fort Collins Book Fest. 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 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.
