We are sharing the difficult news that the 2025 ABAA California Book Fair has officially been canceled. As of today, January 13, FEMA and the Red Cross have assumed responsibility for the operations of the Pasadena Convention Center for 30 days as an evacuation center for those displaced by the fires.

All tickets purchased through Eventbrite will be refunded to the original payment method.

We thank you for your understanding, and our hearts go out to all those affected by the disaster in Southern California.

The 2025 Houston Book Show will be the weekend of February 22nd & 23rd.

It will be at the newly reconstructed Winter Street Studios at Sawyer Yards, a great location close to downtown Houston.

If you are interested in being an exhibitor, please contact show administrator Julie Adkins via this email:
