TWENTYNINE PALMS BOOK FESTIVAL | SECOND EDITION
Launched in 2023, the Twentynine Palms Book Festival blends popular literature, the rich culture of the Mojave Desert, and California's rebellious spirit. The second edition will take place on Friday, November 8, and Saturday, November 9, in Twentynine Palms, a rural town bordering Joshua Tree Park.
The festival is entirely free and aims to attract a diverse audience, including reading enthusiasts of all ages, as well as aspiring and established writers, college students, and academics. Anticipating around 500 visitors, the two-day program will include a book fair, live sessions, readings, talks, special initiatives and many networking events.
Activities will unfold across five downtown Twentynine Palms locations: the Twentynine Palms Community Center, Old Schoolhouse Museum, 29 Palms Inn, Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center and Corner 62.
A preview program with a first list of confirmed guest authors and speakers will be available mid-May. Parking will be available, and ASL assistance will be provided during all live sessions.
Do you have published stories, poems, or graphic novels that deserve a spotlight?
