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:
- Special Festival Friends access to designated sessions
- 20% discount on one book bought during the Festival week through BookPeople
- Sunday morning exclusive Festival Friends shopping hour at the Book Sales Tent
- Acknowledgment on dedicated Festival Friends donor wall on TBF website
Donors of $150 or more will receive a commemorative 25th anniversary enamel pin, and donors of $250 or more will receive the enamel pin, a special edition TBF tote bag, and Texas Monthly one-year home delivery and subscriber-only digital access.
Become a Festival Friend today!
Take a look at our 2019 Annual Report to see the impact your donation makes. Thank you for your support!
