Decatur Book Festival Street Fair
Saturday, October 3, 2026
The 2026 Decatur Book Festival (DBF) Street Fair will take place on Saturday only, October 3, 2026, in the vibrant and historic city of Decatur in Atlanta, Georgia. The Street Fair celebrates reading, writing, and creativity. In 2025, the festival welcomed an estimated 20,000 engaged book lovers from across the region.
​
The Street Fair features a wide variety of exhibitors, including authors, poets, publishers, booksellers, writing groups, artists, nonprofits, and small businesses. We especially welcome exhibitors whose offerings center on books, literary materials, and merchandise that align with DBF’s mission.​ Be part of the celebration by connecting directly with readers, sharing your work, and showcasing your passion for books and literature.
​
The 2026 DBF exhibitor application is now OPEN! Applications will be reviewed and accepted in batches as we finalize the festival layout. With major improvements and construction underway on the new Decatur Square, the exact footprint of the festival is still being determined. We appreciate your patience as we thoughtfully plan for these exciting updates downtown.​​
Space is limited, and due to capacity constraints, not all applications can be approved. We look forward to reviewing your submission and creating another memorable Street Fair experience together.
