Book Signings during Art in the Park - August 19 & 20, 2023

Copper Harbor
Keweenaw
Upper Peninsula
Independent Bookstore
Authors

It’s time to celebrate the art of books at Grandpa’s Barn during Copper Harbor’s annual Art in the Park this weekend! Come sit on the porch and chat with some of your favorite Upper Peninsula authors to find out the story behind their books and what new projects they have for the future. 

A variety of genres will be represented – children’s, mysteries, humor, memoir, and history to name a few, so there will be something for everyone. Each author will be ready with a pen in hand to sign your book, and books will be available for sale during the event. We'll have a story stroll leading from the park to the shop, and a raffle for books. There’s a lot happening in Copper Harbor this weekend, so be sure to come down and join the fun!

Author schedule 8/19 & 20.

Tidbits from the porch and beyond!
