Welcome to the Pages & Pleasures Book Fair & Market!

Get ready, readers—Pages & Pleasures is back, bigger, bolder, and bursting with bookish magic! We’re thrilled to welcome you to a celebration of stories, creativity, and community unlike anything else in Ontario.

Whether you’re a lifelong bibliophile, a casual weekend reader, or someone who simply loves discovering unique handmade treasures, this is your space to explore, connect, and indulge in all things literary.

Our Mission

Pages & Pleasures is built on community, inclusivity, and the belief that stories connect us. We proudly support local authors, small presses, and independent makers — and we’re committed to uplifting diverse voices and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

At Pages & Pleasures, our mission is simple: bring authors and readers together to celebrate the written word. We believe that storytelling should be accessible, joyful, and shared widely — which is why connecting creators with their audiences is always our top priority.

We’re committed to reaching as many readers as possible, and that means removing barriers that might stand between you and the authors you love. That’s why general admission to our event is always free. No cover charge, no gatekeeping — just an open, welcoming space where you can explore, discover, and connect.

For those who want an enhanced experience, we also offer VIP tickets and special events, allowing readers to enjoy exclusive perks while maintaining the heart of the event accessible to everyone.
