BookFest Omaha – IBEW Hall, 13306 Stevens Street, Omaha, NE
December 12-13, 2026
Registration will open in the fall.
Last year was the inaugural BookFest Omaha, which went so well that we're back this year for a two-day event! This is a reader-first, direct-sales event. Authors handle their own transactions and connect directly with shoppers seeking signed books and literary gifts. No workshops, no panels—just focused, face-to-face interaction. Book-related vendors (furniture, accessories, apparel) are welcome, but MLMs and unrelated resellers will not be accepted.
We’re also offering a limited opportunity to record a three-minute author video interview during the show—more info on that to come.
