The event, slated to take place Sept. 15, was about to celebrate its 17th year.
Kerrytown BookFest was the ultimate homage to all things books in this bibliophile city and involved members of the community in writing workshops leading up to the event. From author panels to exhibitors and book art demonstrations, it was an immersive celebration of literature.
In her post, Pellerito Riehl hinted that it may not be the last BookFest and urged those interested in supporting the event in the future to email her at ktbookfest@gmail.com.
