Join Us for the Decatur Book Festival 2026
Since 2006, the Decatur Book Festival has brought together readers, authors, and literary enthusiasts in the heart of Decatur, Georgia, a town known for its charm and vibrant literary community.
​
Our annual festival features panels with award-winning and best-selling national, regional, and local authors, along with book signings, cooking demonstrations, kids' activities, live music, great food, and exhibitors from across the country.
​
Join us for the keynote event on Friday, October 2, followed by a full day of festival programming on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
It's a celebration of storytelling, inspiration, and community, and we can’t wait to see you there!
Meet Our Booksellers
For the 2026 Festival
Our independent bookseller partners—Brave + Kind Book Shop, Charis Books & More, Eagle Eye Book Shop, and Little Shop of Stories—are a vital part of what makes our festival so special to the fabric of Decatur. We love any opportunity to highlight who they are and what makes them so essential to our local literary community.
Support the festival by purchasing books from any of our booksellers. Links can be found on each individual session page on our website, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the festival.
