FPC Live Presents

WI Grown Up-Book Fair

WI Grown Up Book Fair Bio

The Wisconsin Grown-Up Book Fair returns to The Sylvee for its fifth year, celebrating five years of books, makers, and the nostalgic energy of the 90s and 00s. Created and produced by FPC Live, the event brings back the joy and wonder of book fair week, refreshed for a grown-up audience and rooted in community.

Each Wisconsin vendor is selected for their creativity, storytelling, or nostalgic spark. In addition to a wide selection of books, you will find posters, stickers, art prints, knick knacks, vintage clothing, and more from local artists and small businesses.

Arts and crafts, yearbook-style photos, throwback trivia, and other retro-inspired moments will round out your nostalgic experience.

A portion of proceeds will be donated to our community partners, Madison Public Library Foundation and The Madison Reading Project.

Additional details and the full vendor lineup to be announced soon!
