2017 Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival

Join Literary Arts for Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival, our annual celebration of literature. This one-day event features local and national authors presenting onstage events, pop-up readings, and workshops. Enjoy activities for readers of all ages, an extensive book fair, local food trucks, entry to the Portland Art Museum and more.

Each year, Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival brings thousands of readers to Portland’s Southwest Park Blocks for a day-long event. The Portland Art Museum will remain the heart of the festival. Events will also take place at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, The Old Church, Oregon Historical Society, Northwest Film Center, and three of the stages of Portland’5: the Brunish Theatre, the Winningstad Theatre, and the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
