Free Library Festival

On Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, 2009, the Free Library hosted its third annual Free Library Festival. Drawing our largest crowd to date--estimated at 35,000!--the Festival presented more than 50 authors, performers, and programs, and 80 exhibitors at the Street Fair and Literary Marketplace. Thanks to our Festival Sponsors, the City of Philadelphia, and the Fairmount Park Commission, to the Free Library staff, and to our more than 200 dedicated Festival Volunteers for another fantastic fest!

Be sure to "book" the 3rd weekend in April 2010 for more books, music, and inspiration!*

Free Library to Host Nearly 100 Exhibitors at Literary Street Fair!

Thu, April 3, 2008

The Free Library will host nearly 100 literary exhibitors at the 2008 Philadelphia Book Festival Street Fair. Booths will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both festival days. Exhibitors at this book-centric fair hail from as far away as Jamaica and Canada, and as near as the independent bookstore around the corner! Spend the day browsing the booths and meeting the people behind the books!

2008 Exhibitor booths are SOLD OUT. Thank you to all the exhibitors who will fill our streets and our bookshelves!
