Jackson Hole
Book Festival 2024Conversation for
the Community

Thank You for an Amazing First Year!

Thank you for joining us at the inaugural Jackson Hole Book Festival, where we discovered the magic of words, immersed ourselves in captivating stories, engaged with renowned authors, and ignited our imaginations in a celebration of literature that transcends age barriers. This first ever, free for all celebration of books offered an enchanting experience that left us inspired, informed, and eager for more literary adventures. The Jackson Hole Book Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that hosts a community oriented, one day conversation for the community celebrating books, authors, illustrators, and readers. JHBF expands our community’s established love of books, learning, and literature, with free activities and events. In a town full of bookstores, passionate readers, and prolific writers, our day-long annual book festival celebrates the intersection of readers and the writers who nurture their brains, hearts, and souls.
