The Sacramento Book Festival:
Reading Is for Everyone
Now that the 2026 Sacramento Book Festival is over, we’re already planning the 2027 version at a new location that we’ll be announcing soon, along with the date.
With more than 300 authors and eight local bookstores, next year’s book festival will be bigger and better than ever. We’ll have writers in all genres, giving the public a chance to meet authors, get books signed, and hear presentations from many well-known writers. And admission is free!

Great Things to Do
The book festival will be fun for the whole family, with restaurants on site and a dedicated children’s zone. And our passport stamp hunt will give you the chance to win some amazing prizes.
Well-Known Local Authors
A significant cultural event for the greater Sacramento region, we’re lining up a brand new roster of popular authors for panel discussions.
Give Something Back
The festival also gives all of us a chance to give back to the community. We plan to welcome the Mustard Seed School, a Sacramento school for the children of unhoused families, back next year too.
