KPBS San Diego Book Festival
Saturday, August 23, 2025
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Let’s bring our community closer together through the shared experience of reading and discussing great books! The inaugural KPBS San Diego Book Festival on the University of San Diego campus is a free event for book lovers of all ages. Attendees will enjoy panel discussions with award-winning authors, activities, live entertainment, exhibitors including local authors and independent booksellers, and more.
Help support “Literacy for All” with the San Diego Council on Literacy (SDCOL)! Bring new or gently used books, appropriate for kindergarten through elementary school students, with you to the festival to donate to SDCOL. Every book will find a loving home within our local library branches, on the shelves of literacy program sites or in home libraries of local community members. Thank you kindly for your support!
