🗓️ 2026 Texas Book Festival | November 14–15, 2026 | Downtown Austin, inside and around the Texas Capitol, including nearby satellite venues

ℹ️ At the 2026 Texas Book Festival, attendees can expect more than 200 author panels, book signings, activities for teens and families, and a sprawling exhibitor marketplace throughout the weekend-long celebration. The event is FREE to attend, but a few headliner sessions will require a ticket purchase that will include a book. The full lineup will be announced on September 16, including 250+ award-winning and celebrated authors with new books out this year.

🎟️ With these great authors lined up, now’s the time to become a Festival Friend and show your love for TBF! Festival Friends not only support our efforts to provide a free Festival for all, but also enjoy a slate of special perks, including presale access to ticketed sessions*, priority admission to select Festival sessions and signing lines, a free audiobook, plus more!

🔗 Get your 2026 Festival Friend Pass at Texasbookfestival.org/festivalfriend

* Texas Book Festival remains free and open to all. Festival Friend Passes are donations to TBF, helping to power year-round programs and the annual event. Festival Friend Passes do not grant access to ticketed sessions, which feature high-profile authors for whom book-bundled tickets will be sold separately. Festival Friends enjoy presale access before ticketed sessions go on general sale.

📚 Support TBF by purchasing Festival titles from the TBF endcap or on-site Festival Weekend.
