The 20th Annual
Twin Cities Book Festival
October 15 – 17, 2020
It’s no secret that all of us in the book universe are affected by the coronavirus on some level. Booksellers, authors, publishers, and literary orgs are striving to survive, revive, and possibly thrive at serving their audiences with authenticity in this ever evolving and adaptable literary landscape.
Because our annual Twin Cities Book Festival is presented in October, we at Rain Taxi have been holding out for the possibility of a scaled back, real-world experience. However, it’s now apparent we’ll be navigating the Covid-19 terrain indefinitely, so we are leaping into the virtual with an exciting web-based exhibit hall, a variety of online author events, and unique web content commemorating this special 20th year of the TCBF.
20 Years of Celebrating Books & Book People
Rain Taxi’s Twin Cities Book Festival is the annual gathering for readers, writers, publishers, and purveyors of all things literary. The TCBF features dozens of presenting authors, children’s programs, and exhibitors featuring new and rare books, quirky literary curiosities, and more.

We welcome exhibitors at TCBF, including publishers, authors, magazines, arts organizations, libraries, and many more! Stay tuned—applications for exhibitors will appear soon.
