Austin Edible Book Festival 2026!

The 21st annual Austin Edible Book Festival is coming up April Fools’ Day weekend, 3/29, noon – 3 PM, at The Baker School. The event features the ultimate fusion cuisine: handmade books you can eat, and often, terrible puns. We’re seeking bibliophiles and bakers alike to:

  • Make a creation for friendly competition!
  • Visit the festival for thrills, chills, and groans!
  • Partner to support the festival and reach out to a very targeted audience of weirdos!
