31st Annual Northwoods Art and Book Festival 2026
It was a picture-perfect day for the festival with record-breaking crowd attendance in Hackensack, MN
With so many books and so many choices, book lovers found a little bit of heaven at the 2026 Northwoods Art and Book Festival.
Cook's Notes: Take the talents of 36 Minnesota authors, mix them with assorted titles and genres, spice it up with visitors of all ages, combine with animated literary conversations and book signings, add in a tantalizing program on the importance of sharing and documenting family stories, and you have a recipe for success.

What a stellar line-up of authors who trekked to Hackensack to share their literary talents. Their creativity knows no bounds with their table settings and banners. Their smiles radiate happiness as they shared books with festival visitors.

Thanks for sharing that, Sue. I agree it was one of the best sales days I've had there in my career.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on what looks to be another successful book festival. If only the family reunion wasn't the same day, I would be there. I see familiar names and faces. Thank you for bringing all these authors to Hackensack. Well done, my friend.
