Exhibit

Advertised and promoted throughout New England, the Boston Book Festival anticipates more than 30,000 readers to attend the eleventh annual event on Saturday, October 19, 2019. Attendees will come from across the Greater Boston area to hear presentations by renowned authors and speakers and to browse the exhibitors and vendors who make up the lively street fair. Easy to get to by public transportation and by car, Copley Square is ideally situated by a terrific transportation system with subway lines steps away and Amtrak and Greyhound terminals nearby.

The Exhibitor Application will be available in spring 2020. In the meantime, save the date: October 24-25, 2020! You can add you name to this interest list and we’ll notify you when the application goes live. Applications will be reviewed over the summer and applicants will be notified of a decision in July.

There is a limited amount of booth space on Copley Square. Preference is given to returning exhibitors and applications with a strong literary connection. If accepted, you will be asked to sign an Exhibitor Agreement and submit payment within 30 days. If your application is denied, you will automatically be placed on the waitlist for this year and also receive advance notice when the application becomes available for next year’s festival.

Exhibitor rates for 2019 are as follows and include a 10’x10’ tented booth, one banquet table, two chairs, signage, inclusion in our printed Program Guide, and listing on our website:
