The Impact Book Festival is a community celebration of stories, creativity, and the power of the written word. Hosted by Impact Arts Council, this annual event brings together authors, readers, educators, families, and book lovers from across North Jefferson County and beyond.

Held each spring, the festival features bestselling and award-winning authors, regional writers, local storytellers, independent vendors, and literary exhibitors. Guests can enjoy author talks, panel discussions, book signings, children’s activities, and opportunities to connect directly with the people behind the pages.

The Impact Book Festival was created to strengthen literacy, support local and regional authors, and provide meaningful cultural experiences in our community. From children discovering their first favorite book to lifelong readers meeting a beloved author, the festival offers something for everyone.

As part of Impact Arts Council’s mission, the festival reflects our belief that Art Impacts Everyone. By making literary arts accessible and welcoming, we create spaces where imagination grows, conversations begin, and community connections deepen.

Whether you attend as a reader, apply as an author or vendor, or support as a sponsor, you are helping us build a stronger, more creative North Jefferson community—one story at a time.
