We've really wanted to do something like this for some time now. The moment feels right. There is a strong literary community throughout the area and, with this event, we aim to help showcase all that incredible local talent while providing an opportunity to network with like-minded creatives who appreciate/facilitate the written word.
The Maple Ridge Book Fair will be held indoors at the Jean Sloan Hall, which is part of the Haney Presbyterian Church building (off Lougheed Highway @ 216th in Maple Ridge).
The location has ample parking, is wheelchair accessible, and has washrooms on site. A floorplan will be provided to accepted vendors.
The event will run from 11am-4pm on Saturday, August 15th, 2026.
Depending on the number of applications, preference will be given to vendors that are closer to the Fraser Valley/Lower Mainland region.
(We will also be looking for a food truck and are open to suggestions.)
Please fill out the form below to apply.
Successful applicants will be contacted by the end of June.
Also, feel free to reach out to us directly at: wharfingerspress@gmail.com for more information or any other inquiries.
We look forward to hearing from you!
