EARLY BIRD 2026 - SOLD OUT

Turn the Page Before Everyone Else!

Can’t wait to dive into the books? The Early Bird Event offers book lovers a chance to browse and buy a little earlier — from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2026 — before the doors open for free general admission at 5 p.m.

A $30 ticket gives you early access to the sale in a relaxed atmosphere with fewer crowds — perfect for those who love to take their time exploring the tables.
Limited tickets are available, and they tend to sell out quickly! (They sold out in less than 5 minutes in 2026!)

Please note: All Early Bird shoppers are asked to leave by 3 p.m. so volunteers can prepare for the big public opening.

Check back here for Early Bird ticket info in early September 2027. We expect they will go on sale at noon on October 4th, but we may do things a little differently next year, so watch here for more information on the sale.
