The Texas Book Festival is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and takes place in Austin, Texas at the State Capitol and surrounding grounds. We hope you will join us on October 27 & 28 for this exciting literary event.
The Festival is a non-profit organization, and welcomes your contributions to provide this popular annual event. Donate online or at the Merchandise Tent at the Festival. We are grateful for your support of literature, libraries and literacy in Texas!
For a $50 tax-deductible donation you can be a Texas Book Festival member and receive fast passprivileges. A TBF membership card allows “fast-pass” access to certain sessions and signings.
