When and Where is SBF?
The 2025 Savannah Book Festival will be held on February 6-9. A full schedule of events will be released closer to the Festival.
Our four-day Festival takes place in Savannah’s Historic District against a backdrop of stunning historic buildings, cascading Spanish moss, and blooming Azaleas. Each year, over 9,000 people join us for three ticketed Headliner Address events and for our free Festival Saturday.
Festival Saturday presentations take place in museums, churches, and theaters in and around the historic Telfair and Chippewa Squares in the heart of Downtown Savannah. Our lineup of nationally-recognized authors from wide-ranging genres give 30-minute solo presentations on their creative process, followed by a Q&A and book signing.
Headliner Addresses are ticketed events presented in the Historic Trustees Theater in Downtown Savannah. Headliners give a 45-minute presentation on their creative process and life as a writer, followed by a Q&A and book signing. Sponsors and Literati members receive guaranteed access to Headliner Addresses.

So far, not one author or book that remotely interests me, and we've been regulars for 10+ years. I guess CSPAN won't be taping this year, no relevant books.
So far there are several of interest to me and there’s more to come! 👍😊
We are excited to announce author Sebastian Junger as the Keynote Headliner of the 18th Annual Savannah Book Festival.
Sebastian Junger is the New York Times bestselling author of Tribe, War, Freedom, A Death in Belmont, Fire, and The Perfect Storm, and codirector of the documentary film Restrepo, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
You can read more about him and his new book In My Time of Dying on our Meet the Author page. Stay connected with SBF for the Closing Address announcement, and Festival Saturday author reveals.
