The Ridges & Rivers Book Festival began as a collaboration between the Driftless Writing Center and the McIntosh Memorial Library to celebrate reading, writing, creativity, and community. Sponsoring events that would appeal to a broad range of people and made possible by countless hours of volunteer hours, our inaugural event in 2023 featured more than 30 presenters and authors and 1,000-plus attendees. Our next chapter led us to create Ridges & Rivers Inc. to continue our mission of creating an exciting and entertaining event for everyone.
