Just 6 weeks after a successful inaugural event, planning is already underway for Scottsdale Book Festival 2027.
The 2026 festival welcomed thousands of readers, authors, publishers, and families to downtown Scottsdale for a day centered around books, creativity, and connection. With strong participation from independent authors, literary vendors, and community partners, the foundation has officially been set.
Now, attention turns toward what comes next.
A Refined and Expanded Experience
Scottsdale Book Festival 2027 will build thoughtfully on the success of Year One. We are focusing on:
- Expanding author and publisher participation
- Curating dynamic literary panels and conversations
- Strengthening partnerships with local and regional organizations
- Enhancing the reader experience across all age groups
- Continuing to provide accessible opportunities for independent creators
The mission remains clear: create a welcoming literary event that supports authors, engages readers, and strengthens Arizona’s literary community.
