WHAT TO EXPECT
​
Books, Beer & A Great Afternoon in Downtown Wilmington
​Books & Beers isn't your traditional book festival. We're creating a relaxed, social event where readers can discover new books,
meet the people who wrote them, and enjoy an afternoon at SAVARD Beer & Board.

Expect 35+ authors representing a variety of genres - from fiction and mystery to romance, memoir, poetry,
children's books, and more.

Meet authors face-to-face, hear the stories behind their books, purchase signed copies,
and maybe discover your next favorite read.
And because it's Books & Beers, grab a cold beer, find a new book, and stay awhile.

35+ AUTHORS • SIGNED BOOKS • LOCAL BEER • GREAT CONVERSATION

SPONSORS & PARTNERS

Help Us Bring Books & Beers to Wilmington.
Books & Beers is about more than books and beer; it's about bringing people together
and creating a new way to celebrate authors, readers, local businesses, and our community.

We are looking for community partners and sponsors who want to help us build Books & Beers
into a signature literary event in Wilmington.

Sponsorship provides an opportunity to put your business or organization in front of authors, readers, and attendees through event marketing, social media, website recognition, and on-site visibility.

Whether you're a local business, bookstore, publisher, arts organization, or simply believe in supporting writers and the literary community, we'd love to have you involved.
