The Great Pittsburgh Book Crawl is Returning for 2026

We have lots in store for next year’s book crawl! Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter (or follow us on Instagram) so you don’t miss any of the big dates and announcements we have planned for 2026.

Dates for the 2026 Book Crawl have been set for July 18-26, 2026. Join us for 9 straight days of books, coffee, dogs, and amazing bookstore discoveries across Southwestern PA .

What’s a Book Crawl? How do I participate?

A book crawl encourages you to stop and visit participating stores during the dates of the crawl and shop their inventory. At each stop you can get a passport book stamped showing that you have visited that location (passport books are available for free at each participating location). Get enough stamps and you’ll be entered to win a raffle prize put together by all the stores.
