Description

The Holland Community Center, in partnership with Desert Foothills Library, is excited to present the 3rd Annual Desert Foothills Book Festival on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Attendees of this free event will have a chance to meet over 85 local authors (of whom nearly 50 are new to the festival), win prizes and gift baskets, and purchase signed books, with over 300 titles to choose from across a wide array of genres. The festival will take place at the Holland Community Center, 34250 N. 60th Street, Scottsdale, Ariz. 85266.

Inspired by a group of local authors seeking to personally connect with book lovers and promote an appreciation of the literary arts, the Desert Foothills Book Festival celebrates the importance of reading in the greater Phoenix, Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek communities. Designed for children and adults alike, the festival provides an interactive, inclusive venue for readers and authors to connect. Net proceeds from the festival support local literacy programs.
