The Sonoma County Book Festival is a free public event brought to you by The Literary Arts Guild. Our event transforms downtown Santa Rosa into the literary capital of Northern California. Thousands of booklovers return every year for a full day of fun under our welcoming white tents. Our rich programs present nationally acclaimed and locally treasured authors, who inspire and entertain festival attendees of all ages.

We are pleased to have the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition as a sponsor of this event. Bike to the Book Festival and free yourself from any worries about parking. The Bicycle Coalition will provide free bicycle valet service at the Festival! We also wish to recognize the Downtown Merchants Association, which will provide lively music on Fourth Street and is offering a Sidewalk Sale throughout the Festival.
