Ohioana Book Festival
The 16th Ohioana Book Festival is coming in April . . . and you’re invited!
The 2022 festival will be held virtually from April 29 through May 1. As we have done for the past two years, we decided to present the festival in this format to keep everyone safe as the pandemic continues. We’re delighted that we will still be able to share with you all the things you love about the Ohioana Book Festival, straight to your home in a virtual format: a fun-filled weekend featuring panel discussions, conversations, and readings. We’ll also have a number of virtual outreach programs with community partners from all around Ohio leading up to the main event.
110 Ohio authors and illustrators will be featured in the festival’s virtual programs. See the full list below. We’re sure you’ll see some of your favorites in this stellar lineup!
In the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more festival news and information on our website, blog, newsletter, and social media—be sure to check them often! And don’t forget to mark your calendars now for April 29-May 1. We’ll see you online as we celebrate 16 years of the Ohioana Book Festival!
