About this event

The Saratoga Book Festival (SBF) is an annual community-wide celebration of books in downtown Saratoga Springs, New York. Our mission is to encourage a lifelong love of reading and promote greater literacy for all. For one glorious weekend each year, SBF brings writers, book lovers, and reluctant readers together for thoughtful conversations, fascinating interviews, book talks, readings, workshops, youth programs, and more.

Held in venues throughout downtown Saratoga Springs, SBF features contemporary and literary fiction; popular genres such as fantasy/sci-fi, suspense, historical fiction, and crime fiction; nonfiction (including current events, history, science, and cooking/lifestyle); memoir; and children’s and young adult literature.

Nearly all sessions are free to attend!
