AS OF 6-23-2020 Sadly, we have decided to cancel our “in person” 2020 High Desert Book Festival for September 26th. We are following the lead of many festivals that have put off public events this year due to COVID-19 concerns. It is better to err on the side of caution given growing concerns over large gatherings. We want exhibitors and visitors to enjoy themselves worry free… so another time. We are working on making this a ‘virtual’ book festival for 2020. Stay tuned for more information. And please stay safe!
PLEASE IGNORE THE INFORMATION BELOW.
2020 REGISTRATION IS OPEN! We hope to see you in September.
EXHIBITORS have a choice of being at a TABLE SEATED NEXT TO OTHER AUTHORS under a large SHARED tent OR their own individual BOOTH.
