Book Town Richmond

Book Town Richmond Every year, the quaint Karoo town of Richmond transforms into a literary haven, drawing bibliophiles from far and wide to celebrate the written word.

Held annually in the picturesque town of Richmond in the Upper Karoo - Africa’s only official Booktown - the Richmond Boekbedonnerd Festival is a platform for everything lit-themed and related to books. Welcome to BookBedonnerd, South Africa’s only book festival held in a designated Book Town. Nestled in the heart of the Northern Cape, this unique event has become a beacon for writers, readers, and publishers alike. Bookbedonnerd is more than just a festival; it’s an experience that celebrates the richness of literature against the stunning backdrop of the Karoo. Richmond, with its charming, historic streets and warm, welcoming community, provides the perfect setting for this literary extravaganza. The festival’s name itself, a playful twist on “book” and “bedonnerd” (an Afrikaans expression meaning crazy or mad), captures the spirited essence of this event—it’s a celebration of the joyous madness that books inspire in us all.
