INVITED GUESTS (PLUS ONE) ONLY: Join authors, writers, publishers, and other literary community members for a low-key holiday party to kick off the 2nd Annual  Bangor Author's Fair & Literary Festival. The meet & greet event will facilitate networking and community on the evening before the big day. This is also the official launch party for the anthology and a time to honor our community. 

Join us for this open house event, but don't miss the honors, awards, and anthology kick off at 6 PM. Light appetizers provided. A cash bar and literary-themed dinner menu will be available if desired. Pool tables and video games are on-site. 

RSVP REQUIRED and please let us know if you RSVP'd but can no longer attend so we can invite another person.

Schedule:

5:00pm: Doors open for meet & greet mingling, dinner and drinks.

6:00pm: Awards, Honors, and Rivers of Ink anthology launch, followed by more dinner and drinks.

7:00-9:00: Live music by the 2023 Bangor Arts Award Nominated band: Just Honey
