The international Edible Book Festival is a family-friendly event that takes place around the world. Participants create edible books that are exhibited, documented, and then consumed. Creations are ranked by local celebrity judges and artist/chefs are awarded with prizes donated from local businesses. Children are encouraged to enter -- there are separate categories for kids & adults!

The event will run from 3:00-6:00pm, with judging between 4:00-4:30pm. Prizes will be awarded and winners will be announced at approximately 4:30pm in the categories of: Best Book, Best Tasting, and Most Creative. Then we eat our words! Everyone is allowed to partake in eating the exhibits after judging. 

Additional festivities include: a basket raffle featuring goods from local businesses and organizations, a free edible book kids craft, and a Letterpress demo in our basement studio!

General admission is $5 at the door ($3 for members of WNYBAC). Children under 5 are FREE. Edible Book Chefs receive two free admissions!

All proceeds from ticket sales, entry fees, and basket raffles go towards ongoing programming at the WNY Book Arts Center.
