Tucson Festival of Books

The Tucson Festival of Books is Arizona's largest literary event, a celebration of literacy where favorite authors gather to speak about their work. We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 Tucson Festival of Books will be held on the University of Arizona campus on March 14 and 15, 2026! Mark your calendars and save the date for this community-wide celebration of literature. As always the festival is free-of-charge for all attendees. All proceeds following the festival are donated to local non-profit organizations that support improved literacy in Southern Arizona. More than $2,000,000 has been donated since the festival began in 2009. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
