Thank you to all the authors, sponsors, community, and volunteers for the success of our previous Ridges & Rivers Book Festivals. Your support and participation mean the world to us.
Due to a major changeover in the Ridges & Rivers Book Festival board, we were unable to pull together a complete festival for the spring of 2026. This does not, however, mean we haven’t been busy planning other activities which still promote books and reading. On April 24, 2026, we sponsored Angie Thomas, author of “The Hate U Give” and other young adult novels, for the MacIntosh Memorial Library’s “Books Unbanned: Freedom to Read” event at the Westby Performing Arts Center. We also sponsored the Read, White and Blue wrestling event on July 4, 2026 at the Vernon County Fairgrounds with the Friends of the Library hosting a book sale.
Keep watching for more activities sponsored by the Ridges & Rivers Book Festival in the coming months and other opportunities to support the 2027 Ridges & Rivers Book Festival. If you are interested in joining the board, volunteering, or just have ideas for our festival next year, please email us at ridgesandriversbookfestival@gmail.com.
