GODDARD RIVERSIDE BOOK BASH RAISES MONEY FOR HOMELESS PROGRAMS; BUY TICKETS NOW! (SPONSORED)

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).

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
