Join Anthony Scott Author and over 200 Vendors at the 2026 Book Fair for Grown-Ups!
FROM EVENT HOSTS:
Remember the thrill of a Scholastic Book Fair as a kid? We’re bringing that nostalgia back—but for grown-ups! 🎉
In 2025 we featured 140 local authors, publishers, bookstores, and crafters all in one place. We held it in the Education Building at the State Fair Grounds.
Based on the success and feedback from 2025, we are moving a larger venue. The Grandstand at the State Fair Grounds will be the home for the 2026 State Fair Book Fair for Grown Ups. We will be able to have more authors, more publishers, more bookstores and more crafters. There will be a food trucks and craft beverages available outdoors at each end of the Grandstand.
