Event Information

Blue Willow is proud to organize over 300 events every year for readers near and far. These events take place virtually and in person and are noted at the top of each event. Due to the size of the shop, we cannot effectively socially distance, so we encourage you to wear a mask at in-person events. If you'd like to go through the signing line, you will be required to wear a mask. We have surgical masks on hand if you find yourself without one.

We love bringing events to our community and hope to do so for many years to come. Though nearly all of our events are free, they aren't free for us to put on! If you love attending our events, one way you can support us is by buying the book through our bookstore. We offer shipping and store pick-up, so it's always easy to get your books!
