The Tucson Festival of Books (TFoB) is a registered non-profit organization that made its debut in March 14-15, 2009 on the campus of The University of Arizona. The inaugural festival featured 450 authors and presenters and welcomed 50,000 regional visitors, all made possible with generous support from our sponsors and the energetic goodwill of 800 volunteers. The Tucson Festival of Books is fortunate to have the support of two of the city’s leading institutions among its co-founders, The University of Arizona and The Arizona Daily Star: community-focused organizations who help to further the mission of TFoB. 

Fifteen years after its founding, the festival is now a community-wide celebration of literature and one of the largest book festivals in the United States.

Offered free-of-charge, the festival exists to improve literacy rates among children and adults. Proceeds that remain after festival expenses have been paid are contributed to local literacy programs. More than $2.2 million has been raised for local literacy organizations including Reading Seed, Literacy Connects and University of Arizona Literacy Outreach Programs.

Las Azaleas are thrilled to be back for another year as festival performers.
