SPONSOR US

As Bay Area Book Festival (BABF) enters its 13th 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 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 and our event recordings to garner tens of thousands of views worldwide. Sponsors also reach 29,000+ savvy, socially conscious people on our social media platforms (Facebook and IG), mostly in the Bay Area and expanding globally, who appreciate and trust us.

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].
