Culver City Book Festival 2026

The Culver City Book Festival is BACK and better than ever.

Join the Culver City Arts Foundation at the Wende Museum for a day of exploring LA’s literary community — meet local authors, support small presses, get involved with literary nonprofits, and pull up to panels featuring authors like Anna Dorn, Allie Rowbottom, Joss Richard, Allison Raskin, Claire Bidwell Smith, and genuinely too many other amazing people to list here!
