Opening Night Celebration
Difference is What Unites Us
Friday June 15 | 7PM
Unitarian Universalist Meeting House
The Nantucket Book Festival invites everyone to the Sanctuary of the Unitarian Meeting House for our Opening Celebration, which extols the bond of literature and community to which our Festival is dedicated. We ask our featured authors tonight to speak from their different perspectives, which each conveys so movingly in their written words, as we embrace the notion that we all share, in our individually diverse and imperfect ways, a common humanity. We will also recognize the Island's youth who show great promise as writers, and highlight the Young Writer Award, a perennial cornerstone of the Festival.
While most events are free, there are a few ticketed events that benefit the Festival. Click here to purchase tickets!
Friday June 15 | 8PM
White Elephant Brant Point Grill
Imagine enjoying a sumptuous buffet dinner overlooking the harbor while rubbing elbows with almost 30 of your favorite authors. The Dinner, presented by Nantucket Island Resorts, is the perfect ending to a day filled with inspiring author conversations. As the only event designed to fundraise for the Book Festival, your ticket purchase helps keep over 75% of our events free and open to everyone.
