Boerne Book Festival 2025
The Boerne Book Festival will take place on Saturday, October 4th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on the grounds of the beautiful Patrick Heath Public Library in Boerne, Texas, 451 North Main Street. This is the signature program facilitated by the Patrick Heath Public Library.
As always, the festival focuses on Texas and its rich history. Some of the highlights this year include: Bestselling author Bryan Burrough and his new book “The Gunfighters: How Texas Made the West Wild,” an interview with bestselling author Stephen Harrigan on his latest books, fan favorites James Wade and Andrew Porter on the Writers’ League of Texas panel discussion, and a cookbook author panel featuring several area members of Les Dames de Escoffier.
Some of our featured vendor tents this year include the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, UT Press, Texas Tech University Press, the San Antonio Sci-Fi and Fantasy Authors, the Kendall County Historical Association, South Texas Authors of Romance, and more.
For detailed information, additional sponsor announcements, and more, follow the Boerne Book Festival on Facebook, @boernebookfestival. Festival and author information is also available here. The venue provides accessible parking, entrances, clear pathways, wide aisles, and accessible restrooms.

URBAN-15’s proud tradition of presenting the Manhattan Short Film Festival continues this October! Join us on one of our four screening dates on September 26th & 27th OR October 3rd & 4th!

Screening films around the globe, the Manhattan Short has proudly become one of the nation’s first GLOBAL film festivals since its inception in 1998. The festival is one of very few that allows you, the audience, to be the judge by giving the opportunity to fill in voting cards at the end of every screening. In 2024, the Gold Medal for best film went to Irish film “Room Taken”. The best actor award went to Thomas Coumans for his role in the French film “Alarms”.

Join us this fall at URBAN-15 for a new set of high-caliber international films!
