Buy your Book Bash tickets here!
On Friday night, November 18, book lovers will gather at Columbus Avenue and 88th Street for the party of the season. The Book Bash kicks off the Goddard Riverside Book Fair with delicious snacks and cocktails — and guests get the first pick of brand-new bestsellers on sale at 50 percent off the cover price!
Like the Book Fair, which enters its 30th year as a New York holiday tradition, the Book Bash raises money for Goddard Riverside’s anti-homelessness and anti-poverty programs. It’s organized by the publishing industry, which has partnered with the Upper West Side agency for decades to fight homelessness.
Brand-new books are sold at the Bash and all weekend long at the Book Fair for 50% off. The Bash and related events have raised more than $15 million for street outreach, job and life skills training, permanent supportive housing, and other programs to help people move off the streets and reintegrate into the community.
Tickets for the Bash start at $150 for individuals, with a special half-price ticket available for young professionals. Sponsorships are also available.
The Book Fair will take place Saturday and Sunday, the 19th and 20th, at Goddard Riverside’s headquarters at 593 Columbus Avenue (at 88th).
