The 2022 Central Wisconsin Book Festival will take place around the last weekend in September — Sept. 23–25. We once again will be hosting events in Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point, and we also plan to include some virtual event in the mix.
We're hard at work making contacts with authors and plotting out locations, and we'll have much more to share in the weeks and months ahead.
If you'd like to see some of our 2021 events (and all of our 2020 events), hop over to the CWBF YouTube page.
Are you an author who is interested in joining us? We're always looking for next year's guests! Feel free to email cwbf@mcpl.us with information about yourself and your book(s), contact info (including any social media), and ideas for your event.
Also, if you or your organization would be interested in donating money to our festival, you can also email us at cwbf@mcpl.us or call Chad Dally at 715-261-7235. Our festival has been - and always will be - free to attend and so we depend on the generous support of organizations and businesses across Central Wisconsin and beyond. For a full list of all those who help make the CWBF possible, please see our Supporters page.
Thank you for your interest and stay tuned!
