We are excited to announce that the Second Annual North Georgia Regional Book Fair will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025! This event is co-sponsored by the Dahlonega Literary Festival and the​ UNG Department of English.

​

The book fair will be held in the UNG Convocation Center, a beautiful venue with a large parking lot and a parking garage, both free. (See map here.) Admission is free, and all events are free.

​

For authors interested in renting a table for the event, please use the 2025 application form here. Do not submit the 2024 form. Please send the form to Dr. Laura Getty (laura.getty@ung.edu).

​​

The review process for applications will begin by the end of March and continue until all tables are rented. If chosen for the book fair, an invoice will be emailed to you. Since we sold out last year, we plan to have a waiting list available again in case any tables open up.

​

An additional incentive for visitors will be the Bayeux Tapestry Replica, which will be on display in the upper level of the convocation center on the day of our book fair. This magnificent 224-foot tapestry is an exact replica of the original French tapestry depicting the Battle of Hastings in October 1066 and the only one of its kind in the world.

​​

Plans for the book fair include panels of authors, presentations, a children's reading corner, several themed scavenger hunts, a raffle, Art students selling their art, and more!

​

More information about the book fair's events will be published here soon.
