ABAA California International Antiquarian Book Fair 2026
The Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) is pleased to announce the return of the California International Antiquarian Book Fair to San Francisco, taking place February 27—March 1, 2026, at Pier 27 on The Embarcadero.
Now in its 57th year, the California International Antiquarian Book Fair is one of the world’s premier events for rare and antiquarian books and ephemera. On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the 2026 fair will explore the theme “Revolutionary Moments in America,” examining not only the American Revolution of 1776, but the many scientific, artistic, industrial, political and cultural revolutions that have shaped the nation.
The fair brings together fine and rare printed materials from more than 100 booksellers across the globe.
Pier 27 on the Embarcadero in San Francisco is a gorgeous space. There are nearby parking and a panoply of restaurants. And the views are inspiring.
