Biz & Book Fair

Come meet accomplished local authors and small business owners in a special “Vendor/Author Spotlight” event, where each author/business owner shares their story and connects with the community every 15 minutes throughout the day.

This event is designed to bring together award-winning and independent authors with local entrepreneurs in a casual, interactive setting. The format is unique — instead of a traditional book festival, you’ll have a rotating lineup of booth-style presentations, giving you the chance to hear directly from the creators behind the books and products you love

• Vendor/Author Spotlight: Every 15 minutes, a different author or small business owner takes the stage to share who they are, what they do, and why they’re passionate about their work
• Meet the People: Learn about their journey, inspirations, and the products or books they offer.
• Shop Local: Each participant is a local business or author, so you can support the community while discovering new reads and goods.
• Interactive Q&A: Ask questions about their work, process, and how they connect with their audience.

• Direct Engagement: No middleman — you meet the author or owner in person.
• Community Building: Connect with other readers, book lovers, and local shoppers.
• Unique Experience: Unlike large book fairs, this is a curated, intimate gathering of high-quality, reader-verified creators
• Support Local Economy: Every purchase or conversation supports small businesses and independent authors.

Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the full schedule, and bring cash or card for purchases. This is a great opportunity to both read and shop while meeting the people behind the stories and products you love.
