In the spring of 2024, a few folks from the California Writers Club – Sacramento Branch got together with an idea to do something amazing – to bring a book festival to the greater Sacramento Valley. We held the first annual Sacramento Book Festival at the farmer’s market in McKinley Park in East Sacramento. We are currently planning for our second one as a stand-alone event from 10 AM-4 PM on May 31st, 2025 at the Shepard Garden and Arts Center at the northeastern end of McKinley Park.
Lots of Great Things Planned
We welcome all genres, and plan to have author booths, bookstores, and local writing organizations in attendance. We will also host readings and writer panels throughout the day, as well as a scavenger hunt and raffle, and will have food trucks on-hand to provide lunch and refreshments.
We’re featuring NY Times Bestselling author James Rollins, Catriona McPherson, Sharon Fujimoto-Johnson,
Bryan Patrick Avery, and many others.
Bring a Book for Mustard Seed School
We’re partnering with the Mustard Seed School for a children’s book drive – bring a new or gently used book (or buy one at the festival) to donate. They serve kindergarten through eighth grade, but are especially looking for books for new and younger readers.
Add us to your calendar now, and come enjoy a literary day with us at the new SBF!
Note: The SBF logo was created by the talented and amazing graphic designer Jeff Rochford.
Hosted by the California Writers Club, Sacramento Branch
