About the Event

THE FESTIVAL FROM THE CITY THAT LOVES TO READ  
This November marks the return of Literary Arts’ Portland Book Festival (PBF), the largest celebration of books and storytelling in the Pacific Northwest. The festival’s largest gathering takes place Saturday November 7 with more than 100 local, regional, and nationally acclaimed authors gathering for Portland Book Festival in the South Park Blocks.  

 

NEW IN 2026: BUY YOUR GENERAL FESTIVAL PASS EARLY! 
Following a sold-out Festival in 2025, we are making the General Festival Pass available for early purchase this year. Get yours now!

 

Be part of the festival crowd that fills downtown for packed conversations with authors, intimate readings, workshops, pop-up events, and more. With bestselling authors, emerging voices, and readers descending on the city, attendees are destined for a festival full of unforgettable conversations and shared experiences.

 

Purchase your Portland Book Festival general admission wristband for the Portland Book Festival on Saturday November 7! Entry into all individual Saturday November 7 Portland Book Festival events and venues will require a General Admission Wristband. Purchase your general wristband early this year, and get first access to additional add-on ticketed events at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and the reserved seats for events at the Newmark Theatre, before these go on-sale to the public later this summer! You can also purchase your general admission wristband now, and then upgrade to our Umbrella Pass once those go on sale!
