The Sacramento Branch of the California Writers Club will once again be holding a book festival in Sacramento, at the Shepard Garden Arts Center, 3330 McKinley Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95816, next to McKinley Park.
Saturday, May 31, 2025, 10am to 4pm.
For the second year running, Sacramento will have its very own book festival. The California Writers Club is excited to continue this important literary event in Sacramento. We intend to develop this into an annual Sacramento Capital Experience.
Our local Sacramento-area authors are the heart of this festival. The Sacramento Book Festival is a great way meet them, find out all about their work, and grab some signed copies. We’ll have everything from rockets to romance, from cookbooks to children’s stories. Non-fiction to inspire your working lives.
Remember, if you are touched by an author’s writing, send feedback to them online. Visit their website and send them an email. Authors are not just paperback writers; they are people who love to interact with their audience.
We’ll also have a series of workshops for aspiring writers, wo will also be able to meet members of the California Writers Club for gain guidance on how to develop their art. We will also have author readings, where you can listen to their stories and poetry.
If you want to apply for a table, please follow the instructions here. The venue is indoors so you will not need an awning. Tables and chairs will also be provided by the venue.
We are looking to have food trucks outside, if you wish to bring your own picnic, there is plenty of outdoor space in the surrounding park.
We are reserving space in the venue where we propose to host speakers and mini workshops. We will post the full schedule here when it is finalized. We are proud to have James Rollins as our keynote speaker.
More information to follow shortly.
