Outside the Rock: 2024 Texas Book Festival

Do you mind if we share an early holiday gift? Mark your calendars. The 2024 Texas Book Festival is happening November 16–17! We can’t wait to welcome you all back to downtown Austin for another weekend full of fantastic free (thanks to our presenting sponsor, @HEB) literary programming for all ages, book signings, cooking demonstrations, a Saturday night Lit Crawl, and so much more. See you then, friends!

Held each fall in and around the majestic State Capitol in downtown Austin, the annual Festival Weekend features a rich variety of author presentations and panels, book signings, cooking demonstrations, programs and activities for kids of all ages, food trucks, and exhibiting vendors from across the state and country. More than 50 volunteer committee chairs and 1000 volunteers help make the annual Festival possible. While remaining an important showcase for Texas authors, the Texas Book Festival hosts writers from all over the world and is honored to have a national reputation as one of the most prestigious and longest running book festivals in the country.
