There are several ways to get involved with BookFest St. Louis, either as a volunteer or a vendor within the festival zone!
We are looking for content-rich activities to inform, entertain and inspire festival attendees; exhibits or activities of substance that go beyond your agency/organization; programming that will actively engage, rather than passively inform; and with a focus on literary arts.
Businesses and organizations interested in participating in BookFest St. Louis must submit an application to the CWE North Business Community Improvement District for review, which will be reviewed to ensure that the vendor/exhibitor is appropriate for BookFest St. Louis. Applications should be submitted to Kate Haher ([email protected]); applicants will be notified no later than August 30, 2019.
