Have you saved the dates?
We’re in the middle of planning one of our most exciting Fests yet! We can’t wait to see you in person in our beloved Berkeley venues and park
When? Soon! The 2025 Festival will be held May 31 – June 1. (For you true book nuts: We plan to reveal the full schedule and headliner/workshop ticketing in March.)
Can I take part as an author? Proposals are now closed. Schedule will be out April 4!
Where? Indoor author programs will fill multiple Downtown Berkeley venues. The Outdoor Fair, with at least four large adult program stages, a robust children’s area, and a couple hundred exhibitors and food vendors, will take over Martin Luther King, Jr. Civic Center Park.
Can I exhibit in the Outdoor Fair? Yes! Submit your application here.
Can I sponsor the event? Yes, we’d love to have you, and we offer tons of unique opportunities to connect with our engaged audience. We’ll customize a package to fulfill your specific goals, so reach out now to start a conversation.
