The Miami Book Fair runs eight days, from Sunday, Nov. 15 to Sunday, Nov. 22, 2026, at Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus, 300 NE Second Ave.
The Street Fair closes the run across Friday, Nov. 20, Saturday, Nov. 21 and Sunday, Nov. 22. All three mornings open the gates at 9 a.m. against a 10 a.m. program start.
The hour the desk owns
Guests leave the room between 9 and 10. Breakfast service covers that hour. Put a second person on the bell desk through the window.
Friday and Saturday close at 7 p.m. Sunday closes at 6 p.m.
The ladder the desk quotes
Street Fair admission runs $12 for an adult single day, $7 for a senior over 62 and $5 for a teen aged 13 to 18. The multiday ticket runs $18, $12 and $8. Children 12 and under enter free, and Miami Dade College students, faculty and staff enter free with a valid MDC ID.
A guest staying three nights and visiting both weekend days takes the $18 adult multiday. Two single adult days cost $24. A guest staying one night takes the single day.
Friday, Nov. 20 is free for everyone. The schedule block prices it at zero and prints gates at 9 a.m.
Parking answers for a driving guest
Miami Dade College opens the Wolfson Campus garage free from Nov. 15 to Nov. 22. The garage sits at 500 NE Second Ave., with the entrance on NE Fifth Street between First and Second avenues. Route drivers to 145 NE Fifth St. The walk from the garage to the nearest Fair entrance is one block.
Miami Parking Authority sells a flat $5 space at College Station, 190 NE Third St., for the same dates. Confirm the hotel garage rate before a guest parks.
Bags at the bell desk
Miami Dade College Public Safety hand-checks bags, backpacks, purses and containers at the gate. Firearms and other weapons are not allowed on the grounds.
A guest with luggage in hand waits in that line. Hold the bag at the bell desk and the guest walks through.
What the desk can hand over
The organiser publishes a 2026 MBF Guide PDF and 2026 Weekend Author Grids. The FAQ states that almost all programming is free. Some Evenings With sessions carry a cost and often include the book, and a handful of weekend author sessions carry a cost.
Books come through Books & Books, and signings run through Street Fair weekend.
The airport run
Sunday programming closes at 6 p.m. Book car service after the close. The eight-day run ends that evening.
