About the Festival
Thank you for attending Books and Bees 2025!
We'll see you next spring. Stay tuned for more details later this year!
We are proud to announce the fourth year of our award-winning Books and Bees Festival! As a hub of literacy for children and adults, our Bee Cave Public Library hosts programs year round that serve hundreds of families in the area and beyond. As a Bee City USA affiliate, the City of Bee Cave is dedicated to educating the public and helping conserve this most important insect. Our one-of-a-kind Books and Bees Festival helps accomplish our two missions - share fantastic literature with kids and adults alike, featuring high-profile, bestselling authors – and teach our residents and their kiddos more about bees! We have so many fun activities, entertainment and readings in store, you will not want to miss this FREE event!
​
This festival is truly a work of HEART and we appreciate so much the generous sponsors who have helped make this possible. Let's spread the love of reading and our environment to the whole area through this fantastic Books and Bees Festival!
