9th Annual MenilFest (& Gulf Coast Indie Book Fair)

Celebrate the 9th Annual MenilFest and Gulf Coast Indie Book Fair along with dozens of locally and nationally-distributed literary journals, local booksellers, publishers, small presses, literary and fine arts organizations, and authors at the Menil Campus on Saturday, May 7th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Founded through the collaborative efforts of NANO Fiction and Gulf Coast in 2008, MenilFest and the Gulf Coast Indie Book Fair has evolved into a collaboration between Gulf Coast and the arts organizations of the Menil Community.

MenilFest spotlights writers, artists, journals, presses, independent bookstores, and arts organizations committed to preserving and promoting the arts and humanities within Houston, Austin, Louisiana, and the rest of the Gulf Coast region.

MenilFest is a free event open to all lovers of literature, art and music!

Drop by and catch a reading, an informative panel, live music and don’t forget to make the rounds at our Gulf Coast Indie Book Fair which features artists, authors, publishers, presses from all over Texas.

We hope to see y’all there!

Since its inception, the festival has grown from a small gathering of local bookstores and journals to a full-scale regional family event that includes multiple art forms: music, writing, and visual arts. An average of over 70 vendors participates each year, coming from all over the Gulf Coast region, and attracting approximately 3,000 people throughout the day.
