As Bay Area Book Festival (BABF) enters its 12th year, it stands as both a cultural celebration and a critical gathering space where activists, authors, and audiences can unite around today’s most urgent issues and uplift marginalized voices.

We present first-rate live conversations with top authors on a wide variety of compelling topics that matter to audiences you care about. Activation during our events and through our lively outdoor fair (also free to the public) directly connects your company or organization with engaged book lovers eager to learn about new products and services—both literary-related and general-consumer!

Our in-person festival is expected to draw 25,000 attendees over the course of two days and our virtual events will garner tens of thousands of views worldwide.

Sponsors also reach 25,000 savvy, socially conscious people on our social media platforms (Facebook, BlueSky, IG, TikTok) who appreciate and trust us as well as 25,000+ newsletter subscribers.

Additionally, sponsors are listed in our festival program guide, which is distributed to all San Francisco Chronicle subscribers (~750,000 people)

We customize sponsorships to help our partners capitalize on unique and inspiring opportunities. By partnering with BABF, you can elevate your brand and reach your most desirable markets in fresh, creative, and sophisticated ways. For more information, please send an email to [email protected]. 

We look forward to potentially partnering with you!
