Saturday, July 12 in Mancos, Colorado
Planning for the first annual Mesa Verde Literary Festival is underway!
The event will be a day-long series of readings, talks, panels, workshops, book signings, and book sales in downtown Mancos on Saturday, July 12. We anticipate hosting 40 authors of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and memoir. Events will be scheduled throughout the day in downtown coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries, outdoor patios, the Hand in Hand bookstore, the Mancos Community Center, the Mancos Opera House, and the brand new Mancos Commons. The day will wrap up with a group book signing among the invited authors and potentially a keynote talk in the opera house.
The festival will follow the third annual Mesa Verde Writers Conference (July 10-11). Like the conference, the Mesa Verde Literary Festival is being produced with the support of the Mancos Creative District.
The organizers of the event are making effort to keep the festival free to the public through grants and donations. Final details and schedule of author appearances, events, and panels will be announced by May 1, 2025.
The festival itself is being organized by the same team that organizes the conference and is a program of the Mancos Creative District. Questions should be sent to [email protected].
