Bay Area Book Festival 2017

May 23, 2017 by the ILLUSTORIA team

We can barely contain our excitement for the literary extravaganza that is the Bay Area Book Festival coming up this Saturday and Sunday, June 3rd + 4th, 2017, from 10 AM–6 PM in Downtown Berkeley! ILLUSTORIA will be holding a Book Arts Craft Table for kids and grownups to make their very own zines and books. And that's not all! We'll be giving away tons of ILLUSTORIA swag, including cute bookmarks, pins, stickers, temporary tattoos and postcards! 

In addition to crafts, we'll be selling the newly released Issue 4: The Grow Issue along with past issues 1–3, and our super durable, extra stylish, limited-addition tote bags! 

You won't want to miss the incredible lineup of speakers and events at this year's Bay Area Book Festival, including critically acclaimed children book authors Jon Agee, William Joyce, and the amazing illustrator Ana Aranda. Check out the stacked lineup on their website at https://www.baybookfest.org/2017-schedule/. 

FREE admission to the outdoor street fair. A $15 pass gets you into all indoor sessions. More info here.
