We're still free, still fun, still family-friendly, still feisty, still fringe-y, still as delightfully rough around the anti-authoritarian edges.\n\nAs every year for the past fifteen, we will gather independent authors, publishers, zinesters and other literary riff-raff to ply their trades and hawk their wares, focusing as always on the New Orleans locals. There will be a fun kids' area and lots of activities for all ages.\n\nRemember all the way back to last year, when the Bookfair was outdoors, down in Clouet Gardens? Remember how ineffably pleasant that was? We are delighted and grateful to announce we'll be back at Clouet Gardens again, down in the Ninth Ward on Clouet St. between Royal and Chartres. Once more attendees may browse books, periodicals and other printed ephemera in a sublimely attractive setting that is, notwithstanding its loveliness, still mercifully untainted by that twee, clean-cut boho-yuppie instagram rooftop-party aesthetic.\n\nThe Bookfair is beautiful without being precious. You know? Like a lover with bad teeth.\n\nOf course, there's more to a Bookfair than commerce, and this year we have an exciting blend of new and old-style activities. Throwing it back to the VERY FIRST Bookfair, we will have ROLLING READINGS taking place inside a bus! Or perhaps a very large non-bus, depending what we can get our mitts on! But probably a bus! This sucker will be poetry (&amp; prose) in motion!\n\nThere will be panels, illuminating and edifying, on divers subjects. Bookfair participants and attendees throughout the day will enjoy live acoustic music, including a birthday set from Ex Specter, the magnetic musical force of nature a\/k\/a Kallie from GLAND.\n\nPoems will be read! Coffee will be served! Children will be distracted!\n\nThere will be a free meal!\n\nIt will be a grand day in the gardens.\n\nPlease join us for this, the fifteenth of infinite bookfairs.\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- &amp; gaze at the gorgeous posters from previous years:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49\" src=\"http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Book-Fair-8x11.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans Bookfair\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Book-Fair-8x11.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Book-Fair-8x11-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8\" src=\"http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BOOKFAIRDIGITALweb.jpg\" alt=\"BOOKFAIRDIGITALweb\" width=\"779\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BOOKFAIRDIGITALweb.jpg 779w, http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BOOKFAIRDIGITALweb-194x300.jpg 194w, http:\/\/www.neworleansbookfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BOOKFAIRDIGITALweb-664x1024.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 22nd Annual* New Orleans Bookfair is on deck for Saturday December 6, 2025, 11 AM &#8211; 5 PM at the Fred Hampton Free Store 5523New Orleans, LA 70117.
