About this Event

Oak Creek Public Library's Meg Jones Author Fest is being held on Saturday, August 22, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Meg Jones was an Oak Creek resident, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Reporter, published author, and public library advocate. This Author Fest is dedicated to her memory.

Local authors and authors with a connection to Wisconsin are invited to register for a table to showcase and sell their work. Meg Jones Author Fest is being held inside the Civic Center during Oak Creek's popular Saturday Farmer's Market in Drexel Town Square and is sure to draw a crowd.
