Central Wisconsin Book Festival (CWBF)

Save the Dates! The 2024 Central Wisconsin Book Festival will take place Sept. 26-28!

Book lovers and festival-goers should mark their calendars for the last weekend in September, when we’ll host the 8th annual Central Wisconsin Book Festival. We’ve worked throughout the year on our festival lineup (and lots of other smaller details) and we look forward to sharing all the great events with you! Click the “2024 Lineup” tab at the top of the page to see what we have planned for this year.

Are you an author who is interested in joining us? First, thank you for your interest! Second, our lineup is set for 2024 but we’re an annual festival so feel free to email cwbf@mcpl.us with information about yourself and your book(s), contact info (including any social media), and ideas for your event.

Would you like to receive (occasional) updates about the Central Wisconsin Book Festival? Follow this link to sign up and while you’re there, feel free to give us some feedback about future festivals.

If you or your organization would be interested in donating to our festival, you can email us at cwbf@mcpl.us or call Chad Dally at 715-261-7235. For a full list of all those who help make the Central Wisconsin Book Festival possible, please see our Supporters page.
