The festival features big-stage presentations, intimate conversations, and walking tours with literary heroes from near and far.

Featured during the weekend of programming are authors such as Percival Everett, Amy Tan, Michael Pollan, Miranda July, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and many more.

Rich in cultural diversity and creativity, including a literary tradition that stretches back centuries, the beautiful city of Santa Fe is a perfect host for the Festival. At this time of extraordinary upheaval, authors and readers from around the world and close to home come together for three remarkable days to explore a range of issues—in politics, justice, race, the environment, and much more.

The sharing of words, ideas, and stories strengthens our sense of community, celebrates our shared humanity, and captures the experience of being alive in the world.
