Virtual Programs to View

Brooklyn Borough Hall and surrounding venues
Thank you to everyone who came to the 2023 Brooklyn Book Festival! More than 30,000 people attended Festival Day on October 1st and were met with a beautiful sunny day. They gathered together with other readers, vendors, publishers, booksellers, and their favorite writers in celebration of books and authors. Two hundred local, international, debut and iconic authors engaged in panel discussions and book-signings on our outdoor stages and our partner venues in Downtown Brooklyn.
In between author programs, Festival-goers enjoyed strolling Cadman Plaza, along which over 200 local and national presses and bookstores set up book stalls in our Literary Marketplace, and adding new titles to their TBR piles. Lugging away tote bags filled with books is an honored Festival tradition.
Children’s Day
Our Virtual Festival Day programs are online with more to come. They are free to enjoy.
