Bay Area Book Festival - Outdoor Fair 2025

Our annual free outdoor event will bring together small presses and mid-to-large-sized publishers, independent booksellers, student groups and literary clubs, independent illustrators, handmade art/craft vendors, university writing departments, community focused non-profits, writing groups, book artists, libraries, food vendors, and more—offering a dynamic and immersive celebration of everything books and reading.

Building on last year’s programming enhancements in the park, presentations on the four outdoor fair stages will be primarily geared towards a highly engaged adult audience looking to peruse and shop for books!
