2021 Festival Friends

Festival Friends are donors who give $100 or more annually, whom we thank with a Festival Friends Pass. Festival Friends help TBF champion authors and a vibrant Texas culture of books, reading, and writing. At the Texas Book Festival, we strive every day to share the life-changing joy of reading, accessible to all Texans. Individual donations go a long way to making this a reality.

In appreciation for your donation of $100 or more, you will receive a Festival Friends Pass which provides you with Festival perks that will be announced in Spring 2022.

Take a look at our 2021 Annual Report to see the impact your donation makes. Thank you for your support!
