Salt Lake Book Festival - The Gateway
The Salt Lake Book Festival started with a simple belief: the best thing a book can do is find the right person at the right moment. We built the festival to create more of those moments — live, in person, in the heart of Salt Lake. Every October, we bring together authors, artists, independent booksellers, community organizations, and a whole lot of curious people for a one-day celebration that’s equal parts literary event and neighborhood gathering.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Salt Lake Book Festival was built by people who love books and believe that love should be contagious. No reading history required — just great stories, the voices behind them, and a community that shows up for both.
Our vision is to be the place where every individual discovers the story that sparks a lifelong love of reading.
