Join us for an exciting ticketed preview party to get to know our Book Fair vendors the night before our Book Fair officially opens to the public! You’ll have a more intimate opportunity to shop and get to know all of the bookish organizations, local non-profits, booksellers, literary journals, artists, and much more. We have asked all Book Fair vendors to offer something extra fun and exciting for this special preview night. That could be hands-on activities like
making collages with Art Salvage or a
printmaking demo with SPPC; or, special deals like
buy-one-get-one free on titles from Latah Books! We will also have light snacks available for purchase at the venue, along with some special cocktails and mocktails inspired by the festival! We can’t wait to share what else everyone has planned. Don’t miss this exciting way to kick off our 2026 festival Book Fair!
In addition to the deals and activities, we are thrilled to present an opportunity for authors and attendees alike to get
FREE headshots taken by
Freeze Frame Visuals! More information on that and how to sign up on the night, coming soon.
