Join Us on March 7th, 2026!
Our annual family-friendly event brings together a dynamic mix of authors, poets, speakers, illustrators, and publishers from Virginia and beyond. The 2026 festival will be held at the William & Mary School of Education, offering a full day of literary discovery and connection within a community that celebrates the joy of reading.

At the Williamsburg Book Festival, our mission is to celebrate and support the art of literary composition while connecting authors with the reading public.

The Williamsburg Book Festival has been one of my favorite events for many years. It’s the place real book-people go to mingle, learn, and read from the best Williamsburg has to offer.
Perhaps what makes this festival one of the greatest is that the community comes out to support the authors and festival with warmth and energy that brings me back year after year.
—Tj O’Connor, award winning author of The Hemingway Deception and The Dead Detective Casefiles
