About Us
The Decatur Book Festival (DBF) has grown into one of the most beloved independent book festivals in the country, bringing together a vibrant community of readers, authors, and literary enthusiasts for an inclusive celebration of books and ideas every fall in Atlanta’s eastside gem of Decatur, Georgia.
Since its founding in 2006, DBF has become a premier literary event that attracts thousands of attendees every year. The festival uniquely showcases the small-town charm of Decatur as a gathering place to inspire and connect readers of all ages.
It is our mission to encourage a love of reading, inquiry, and conversation in people of all ages, and to build an enthusiastic and inclusive community of readers and writers, sparking social, creative, and intellectual engagement.
