Baltimore City, meet your first-ever Graphic Novel Festival! Baltimore is known as The City That Reads. Thousands flock annually to Baltimore Comic Con and the Baltimore Book Festival, both of which have been running for 25 years. However, neither event has specifically featured graphic novels, nor their authors or illustrators. These books are beloved and deserve to be celebrated!

Join us for a fun day, where you’ll make new friends, and build community with artists, authors, local organizations, and other individuals! This free event will feature back-to-back programming featuring local authors, illustrators, and educators sharing exclusive and engaging content with attendees. Graphic Novel Festival will also feature art, food, and drinks to purchase from local creators and vendors. It's all about connecting, collaborating, appreciating art, and having a blast together! We hope to see you on August 10, 2024, from 10am - 6pm at Dreamer’s and Make-Believers Bookstore.
