Midwest Black Book Fair (No Host)

The Midwest Black Book Fair is meant to honor their stories of the resistance and uplift the modern-day intersectional narratives of Blackness, Black history, and Black futurity. Held during Black August, the fair contributes to this month-long commemoration dedicated to honoring Black abolitionists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. We are the stewards of these stories.

This family friendly event will feature Black book vendors, Black authors, book signings/readings, writing and publishing workshops, Black food vendors, and more!

Black Garnet Books is leading this initiative, partnering with local Black literary partners to advise on event production including: Strive Publishing & Bookstore, Babycake's Book Stack, In Black Ink, Griot Arts, The Givens Collection, More Than a Single Story, Saint Paul Almanac, Planting People Growing Justice, and Mind's Eye Comics, Wise Ink, Picture Book Parade, Uhuru Bookstore, The Minnesota Black Authors Expo, and the Network for the Development of Children of African Descent.
