More Information

Visit as many participating bookstores as you can on April 25-26, 2026 and get entered to win multiple prizes, with contributions from each indie!

Sixteen indie bookstores, including two pop-ups, are participating, and we'll have multiple giveaway prizes. Grab a passport at the first indie you visit, and use it as your guide to visiting as many indies as you can on that weekend! The more you visit, the more entries you get into the prize draws.
