Plan the visit
Hold April 10 for the 2027 festival
The organizer's public FAQ and 2027 submission guidance both identify Saturday, April 10, 2027 as the 15th annual San Antonio Book Festival. Use that exact date for travel planning while waiting for the author lineup and session schedule.
Expect a multi-venue downtown day
The festival's established footprint includes the Central Library and neighboring UTSA Southwest Campus. Once the 2027 schedule is released, allow walking time between sessions rather than treating the program as one auditorium.
Free admission still benefits from advance planning
The organizer describes the festival as free and open to the public. Popular author sessions, parking and signing lines can still shape the day, so review the final map and program before arrival.
