Hosted by the Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne Library
This event is free and open to the public!
This event unites bibliophiles, book artists, and food lovers across the world. It is a yearly event that takes place on or around April 1st throughout the world. Participants show off their culinary creativity by making a dish based on a book or a pun of a book title to display and share. The first Edible Book Festival was created by Judith A. Hoffberg and Beatrice Coron in 2000, and has since been celebrated by libraries, bookstores, and other book lovers in over a dozen countries.
2025 marks our 16th annual festival! Many of our entries are made by Ivy Tech Hospitality students. We also have entries from local businesses and food artists. The Ivy Tech Library encourages you to register to create an entry or to just come and enjoy the awesome edible art.
This festival is open to students, staff, faculty, and the community. In addition to all of the delicious entries, we will provide refreshments.
