Harbor Springs Festival of the Book
Sept 24-26, 2021

The Festival is excited to announce the return of a reimagined in-person Festival. The author list includes keynote speaker, Malcolm Gladwell, along with a Booker Award finalist, National Book Award longlist title, the return of two 2016 presenters and an author from our planned 2020 schedule with a new book for 2021.
The vast majority of the Festival sessions are still free, but ADVANCE REGISTRATION is required.
You will register for the Festival, not for individual sessions. The complete schedule will be available in late August.
Seating at each session will be on a first come, first served basis.
Registration for the Festival DOES NOT include a ticket for the Malcolm Gladwell keynote.
A purchased ticket for the keynote ticket DOES NOT include registration for the Festival.
If you only want to attend the Gladwell keynote, you do NOT need to register for the Festival.
Your registration/order is complete when you receive a confirmation email. There are no hard tickets for registration or the keynote.
Once you have registered, future emails will include dates and times regarding registration check-in to pick up your Festival badge. Badges will be required for session admittance.
