Become a Friend of the Festival

Fall for the Book is back in person and ready for action. Over the last two years, we have redefined what it means to be a book festival and won the 2022 ArtsFairfax Arts Innovation Award to prove it!

Now we’re thrilled to be showcasing both the high quality virtual content you’ve been enjoying and all the exciting in-person events you’ve missed. Help us celebrate 24 years strong by becoming a Friend of the festival today and jump to the front of the line to reserve your VIP tickets. We’ve also updated our Friends’ Levels to include some great new benefits. Whether you give $5, $500, or $5,000, your support is crucial to helping us reach our mission and provide free and open programming to all members of the community.

Please help us reach our goal of hosting a writer for every reader. Thank you to our current Friends and Sponsors who make the festival possible, and welcome to each and every one of you entering in on this literary journey with us!
