PBF features over 100 authors and interviewers, drop-in writing workshops, pop-up readings, local food trucks, and a huge exhibitor fair in this all-ages, city-wide celebration of books and stories.

TICKETS TO THIS YEAR'S PORTLAND BOOK FESTIVAL HAVE SOLD OUT!

ATTENTION:

Dear Friends,


For the first time in the history of the Portland Book Festival, we are thrilled to share that the festival is officially sold out. Every ticket— from special author events to general admission passes—has been claimed.


Because of this milestone, walk-up tickets will not be available at the box office on festival day. We know how many of you look forward to this celebration of books and ideas each year, and we’re deeply grateful for the extraordinary enthusiasm that brought us to this moment.


The Portland Book Festival has always been about community— readers, writers, and all who believe in the power of stories to connect us. To see this event reach full capacity is a testament to the strength and passion of that community.


Thank you for helping us make history. We can’t wait to welcome you downtown this weekend.


With gratitude,


Andrew and Amanda
