Iowa City Book Festival

October 14 @ 8:00 am - October 20 @ 5:00 pm

WELCOME TO IOWA CITY! The Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature organization is proud to offer you a week of excellent, one-of-a-kind, free, literary programming as part of the 2024 Iowa City Book Festival. Iowa City is a City of Literature for many reasons: The wonderful writing programs at the University of Iowa, our small presses and magazines, our wonderful libraries, our bookstores, and amenities like the Iowa Avenue Literary Walk.

The Iowa City Book Festival is organized by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature, a nonprofit 501(c)3 that manages the Iowa City area’s designation as a UNESCO City of Literature. The City of Literature works to advance its mission of celebrating and supporting literature on a local, regional, national, and international level, connecting readers and writers through the power of story.

The Graduate Iowa City is the preferred hotel for visitors to the Iowa City Book Festival. Click here to make your reservation or call 319-337-4058 and reference the “Iowa City Book Festival Room Block” to receive a discounted rate.
