A Quick Word of Advice…We anticipate another sold-out event this year.
In fact, many tables may fill very quickly—sometimes within the first evening...often within minutes.
To give yourself the best chance at securing your spot:

♥ Review the list of participating authors on the website
♥ Choose your top 2–3 table options ahead of time
♥ Set a reminder for 5:50 PM so you’re ready to go

If your first choice is full, don’t worry—every table offers a unique and wonderful experience, and there will be opportunities to meet multiple authors throughout the day.
Make It More Than a Day… Make It a WeekendMany of our attendees choose to turn the luncheon into a fun and relaxing getaway.
From Friday night activities to time spent connecting with friends (old and new), it’s the perfect chance to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in something joyful.

Giving Back Through BooksAs always, a portion of our proceeds will benefit Project Read, supporting adult literacy here in Utah.
Together, we’re not only celebrating stories—we’re helping create new ones.

We Can’t Wait to See YouWhether this is your first time attending or you’ve been part of this tradition for years, we are so excited to share this special day with you. There is something truly magical about a room filled with readers and authors connecting, laughing, and celebrating the stories that bring us together.

We hope you’ll join us.

Set your reminder.
Pick your authors.
And be ready at 6:00 PM Mountain Time.

We’ll see you on the other side.

More information will be available shortly. Please note, we are under construction as we transition to a new web provider. Full galleries for past years, updated hosting author bios, and more will be available soon. Thank you so much for your patience! We are excited to welcome you to this years Utah Readers Luncheon coming Saturday, October 10, 2026.

We are excited to have 13 wonderful authors on board this year. Registration for our October 11th event opens today at 6:00 pm MDT. There are only 117 seats available at this year's lunch, so don't delay getting your tickets. We can't wait to see you there!

We are so pleased to announce that through our successful auction at the 2024 Utah Readers Luncheon, we were able to donate over $1,000 to Project Read. We received the following in an email today from the organization's Executive Director, Shauna K. Brown...

"March is a time of growth—buds on the trees, longer days, and fresh possibilities. And thanks to your generosity, growth is happening at Project Read, too!
Meet Todd. He’s been working in construction for years, but he dreams of moving up in his company. To do that, he needs to strengthen his reading and computer skills. Since August, Todd has been coming to class every Wednesday and Thursday night, bringing great positivity with him. Right now, he’s reading The Hobbit—a fitting choice for someone on a journey of learning and adventure!
Your support makes stories like Todd’s possible. Because of you, Project Read provides the resources, classes, and encouragement adult learners need to build better futures. Every time you give, you’re not just funding a program—you’re fueling someone's next step forward.
Thank you for believing in lifelong learning and for making a difference. Just like March brings the promise of spring, your kindness brings hope and opportunity to our students."

We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Project Read in the future and hope to continue to make a difference in the lives of people like Todd. Thank you SO much to all who attended and helped to make the event, and our auction, successful.

We are so excited that registration will be opening in just THREE DAYS! We are thrilled to have 18 wonderful authors joining us and know that we will have a fabulous time. Take a little time over the weekend to read up on their author bios, check out their books, and decide your top choices of who you'd like to sit with. We would love for you to follow us on social media for updates, author spotlights, and fun facts and information as we gear up for this year's Utah Readers Luncheon. Hope you will join us!

"Fall is in the air. I adore cool, crisp mornings that warm into the most glorious afternoons. Fall colors--don't you just love looking up into the mountains turning every shade of yellow, red, and brown? Soup and homemade bread. Curling up with a good book, snuggled in a blanket, with a cup of cocoa. Football season. Soccer season. Play season. And you...the Utah Readers Luncheon, making a difference in the lives of students like Enrique, who has been working on improving his employment skills and then improved his employment situation. Thank you for supporting his efforts. We appreciate your generous donation...to help us eradicate illiteracy in Utah. Your ongoing support ensures that we have the resources to support the 150,000 adults in Salt Lake and Utah Counties who need our help. We look forward to collaborating with you in the future."

We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Project Read in the future and hope to continue to make a difference in the lives of people like Enrique. Thank you SO much to all who attended and helped to make the event, and our auction, successful.
