2024 Bookmarks Festival of Books & Authors
September 26 - September 29
Bookmarks began as an annual book festival in 2004 and has since grown to be the largest annual book festival in the Carolinas. After several years as a volunteer-run book festival, Bookmarks has grown to be a 501(c)(3) literary arts nonprofit organization and independent bookstore in downtown Winston-Salem with year-round programming and outreach. All of Bookmarks’ programming, including the Festival of Books & Authors, is part of the organization’s mission to cultivate community by bringing people of all ages together with books and authors that educate, inspire, challenge, and entertain.
