About the Northern Arizona Book Festival
The purpose of the Northern Arizona Book Festival, Inc. (NABF) is to promote the union of literacy and the
fine art of literature in a meaningful and relevant way to the people of Northern Arizona and the greater
Southwest. In addition, NABF is committed to promoting literacy in Northern Arizona.
DID YOU KNOW? The Northern Arizona Book Festival was founded in 1998 by the Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County as a direct and tangible link between basic literacy efforts and ambitious literary endeavors.
That year a diverse group of acclaimed authors was brought to Flagstaff for a weekend of readings, workshops, panel discussions, and other literary events. This wildly successful downtown event was to become an instant hit among townsfolk and travelers alike.
What began as a moment of love and pure vision among local lovers of books evolved into a large-scale event of international regard within the lively culture of contemporary literature.
Enjoy what has been called the “premier cultural event of the Northland” as well as the “single greatest reason to live in Flagstaff!”
