The Sonoma County Book Festival invites all booklovers to
Northern California’s oldest and largest book fair.
Your enthusiastic loyalty keeps us among the few hundred surviving
community book festivals in America. An annual event since 2000,
our free festival brings readers and writers together in a full
day devoted to books and the people who love them.
The Sonoma County Book Festival celebrates the literary arts
and promotes literacy. Our important community event reflects
Sonoma County’s vibrant diversity. Committed to sustaining the freedom
of writers’ voices, the festival presents a rich variety of reading
and listening choices. We feature local writers and artists, and
we support local businesses and causes. The Sonoma County Book Festival
proudly champions our independent booksellers, who treasure books
as more than product.
The Literary Arts Guild produces the Sonoma County Book Festival
with the help of a growing team of volunteers. We depend on the
kindness of neighbors—local businesses and individuals who sponsor
the Festival. We gratefully thank our sponsors in promotions that
recognize their support in the media, our advertisements, online,
and on-site to thousands of festival attendees.
Support us and donate to the Book Festival! Donate online today, or send us a check (payable to Sonoma County Book Festival). Donations can be sent to: Sonoma County Book Festival P.O. Box 159 Santa Rosa, CA 95402

Chapbooks: Interviews conducted by Jonah Raskin at Book
Festival benefits last summer are now available as handsome
chapbooks. Greg Sarris: In Conversation with Jonah
Raskin and Gerald Haslam: In Conversation
with Jonah Raskin can be ordered
here. If you attended the benefits, the chapbooks make
great souvenirs and reminders of those special events. If
you missed them, you can see what you missed and enjoy the
published version of these great conversations. We greatly
appreciate your donations.
