Westchester Book Festival 2026

The 2nd Annual Westchester Book Festival is set for Saturday, November 7th, 2026 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.

There will be two primary venues for this year's festival across the street from each other, the Katonah Village Library (26 Bedford Road, Katonah) and the Katonah Presbyterian Church (31 Bedford Road, Katonah).

Tickets are required for each of the individual sessions and are $25 for each session.
