About this event
Portland Book Festival’s main gathering is November 7, bringing readers, writers and storytellers to stages around the South Park Blocks and neighboring cultural venues. Literary Arts expands the program beyond author conversations to include a book and exhibitor fair, readings and related arts activities.
The venue network includes Portland Art Museum, Portland’5 theaters, The Judy, The Old Church and Shemanski Park. Check the schedule for each session’s exact location and pass requirements. Cover to Cover partner programming runs separately November 2–8; it does not require a festival pass, though individual partner events may charge admission. The main festival date and the wider partner week should not be confused.
