Gaithersburg Book Festival (GBF) is an all-day celebration and one of the nation’s top literary events, attracting hundreds of notable and best-selling authors, poets, and songwriters from across the country.

FOLMC has been a proud participant at the Festival since its inception in 2010, and our staff spends the year gathering and curating a selection of books and music for sale in our pavilion.

Come and browse thousands of hardcover and paperback books, a wall of bookish buttons, and crates and crates of music, all for the same affordable prices FOLMC offers everyday at our bookstores. As always, all proceeds benefit FOLMC in support of MCPL.

In addition to author events and book signings, the Festival also offers programming for all ages, including writing workshops for children, teens, and adults as well as a poetry contest. There’s simply something for everyone—and we promise you won’t leave empty-handed.

Gaithersburg Book Festival is free to attend and free to park. Bohrer Park is located at 506 S. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.
