The San Antonio Book Festival celebrates national and local authors and their contributions to the culture of literacy, ideas, and imagination. The festival is a free, daylong event that brings books to life through author presentations, innovative panel discussions, recipe demonstrations, and book sales and signings.

Also included in this fun day of literary entertainment are family activities such as children’s theater performances, a technology area, interactive play and art stations, and a selection of the city’s famous food trucks.

This year’s lineup includes nationally renowned authors such as Rick Bragg, Tayari Jones, Ron Chernow, Andre Dubus III, Susan Page, Meg Medina, Douglas Brinkley, Jose Antonio Vargas, Laurie Halse Anderson, and more.
