Westchester Book Festival 2025

The inaugural Westchester Book Festival is set for Saturday, November 8th, 2025 in Katonah, NY and we are excited for you to join us! 

Our mission is to celebrate books, writers, and readers. By featuring some of our most beloved authors of contemporary fiction and non-fiction, the Westchester Book Festival will enable readers to encounter ideas from multiple perspectives as well as to share common ground.

Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Katonah Village Library, Bedford Free Library, and Bedford Hills Library.

Tickets are required for the individual sessions at the Katonah Village Library, Chroma Fine Art Gallery and Oak & Oil Gallery, and are $20 for each session.
