About this event
The 2nd Annual Mesa Verde Literary Festival will be held in downtown Mancos, Colorado on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The festival will include individual presentations by authors (some local, some travelling from all over the country) in restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, patios, and shops in downtown Mancos. The day will also include panels on a variety of reading and writing topics, a student poetry slam, a pop-up bookstore for festival authors, and an evening keynote talk. The festival is free to the public. All are invited to enjoy the talks, panels, and presentations.
The day will include a festival bookstore, managed by Mancos' own Hand in Hand Books & Bottles Shop so festival attendees can buy books from visiting authors—and have them signed.
