The Portland Book Festival (formerly Wordstock) celebrates book lovers of all ages! We offer lots of fun-filled family activities; including storytimes, panel discussions, pop-up readings, crafts, plus gift shopping and plenty of food vendors. This guide will help you navigate through it all.
Admission is FREE to attendees 17 and under (or with valid high school ID). Get your festival pass now. Please note: ALL attendees–including youth– must pick up a wristband before entering any festival venue. We recommend you arrive at least thirty minutes prior to the first event you want to attend to visit the box office in SW Park Avenue and pick up your wristband. Securing your pass in advance will speed up this process. More info on our FAQs page.
