The 16th Annual Edible Book Festival is officially happening on Mar. 31, 2025, and Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne’s Library is looking for participants to serve up their “edible books”. It’s a chance for local businesses and food artists to connect and promote themselves to the community.

“Anyone can participate, including community members and Ivy Tech students and staff,” says Liz Metz, librarian at Ivy Tech Fort Wayne. “It is a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to interact with the community, promote themselves, and have fun!”

Participant Guidelines:

  • Must be 18 years or older, those under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult
  • Responsible for personally serving their edible book at the event
