Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair 2026 (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair is an annual event that brings together people interested and engaged in radical work to connect, learn, and discuss through books and information tables, workshops, panel discussions, skill sharing, and more! Dozens of publishers, micro-presses, and community organizations will be there. We seek to create an inclusive space to introduce new folks to anarchism, foster a productive dialogue between various political traditions as well as anarchists from different milieus, and create an opportunity to dissect our movements’ strengths, weaknesses, strategies, and tactics.

This year we ponder the Analog: In an age of mass collapse and rising technofascism, how can we create alternative technologies to further our goals? What strategies and tactics are at our disposal to fight big tech? And how can we meaningfully divest from mainstream technology?

The event is free and wheelchair accessible. KN95 or N95 masks required indoors and encouraged on the rest of the book fair grounds.
