Yep! Most panels, book signings and workshops require separate tickets, which you can grab through Eventbrite.

No registration is needed for drop-in fun at The Friendzone or to shop at Romance Alley.

And the best part? Everything is totally free!

To give as many book lovers as possible a chance to join, there’s no all-access pass. Just grab tickets for the events you want to attend. 

We sometimes have more people interested than seats available. We oversell events to ensure that the greatest number of people have a chance to participate. Tickets only guarantee entry until the room fills up—but seating is first-come, first-served. Come early to snag your spot! 

No rush lines, but don’t worry! If an event sells out, you can hop on the waitlist through Eventbrite and get notified if a spot opens. 

The main hub is North York Centre mall (5150 Yonge Street), where you’ll find panel discussions, book signings, creative workshops, The Friendzone and Romance Alley. BookCrush activities will take place in several spaces in North York Central Library, Novotel Hotel and Memorial Hall—all conveniently located within the North York Centre mall.

On August 21 and 24, select events will be at Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street).  

Learn more about getting there on our Venues page. Be sure to double-check your tickets for event locations before you arrive!

All book signings are timed and require registration. Check the full Schedule for signing sessions and details. 

Absolutely! You can bring your own books or buy select titles from BookCrush authors at the event. 

Each signing may have its own guidelines—check event details to be in the know.
