OUR FIRST-EVER
ENTIRELY VIRTUAL
FESTIVAL
Fall is in the air and leaves are beginning to turn...all of which means that our annual Utah Humanities Book Festival is right around the corner! Join us for this year's celebration, now in its 23rd year of engaging Utahns with books, events, and conversations.
This 2020 book festival is our first-ever entirely virtual festival (via Zoom) and features scores of events, authors, and conversations in six categories.
Each week, we will send a Book Blast with details about upcoming events so that you can plan ahead.
