Special Donation Ticket
Admission to the fest is free — this donation ticket is entirely optional.
For a special $20 donation you can not only reserve a ticket to the festival, but you’ll also receive a goodie bag of randomly selected books worth about $60 from authors like Sarah Langan, D. Harlan Wilson, Jonathan Lethem and more… (Note: To collect a goodie bag you must pick it up in person at the festival.)
All proceeds from the special donation tickets will go towards funding the festival.
Only 25 special donation tickets are available on a first-come/first-served basis. Limit 1 ticket per person. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
