The DC Black Cat Bookfair will be a space where authors, publishers, activists, and community members come together to explore alternative perspectives, exchange ideas, and question conventional notions of power and authority.

We will feature workshops, book and zine vendors, artists, and music. Beyond serving as a marketplace, our vision is to create a space for connection and empowerment.

The DC Black Cat Bookfair is committed to inclusivity and accessibility. We ask that patrons wear masks while attending, and we will provide masks at the event. We welcome any and all individuals who are interested in contributing to a more just and equitable society.

Location

St Stephens is at the corner of 16th St. NW and Newton St. NW in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of northwest Washington, D.C.

Transportation:

By car: Much of the area around the church is a dense residential area, but street parking can usually be found at most times of the day. Parking in the small lot between the church building and 16th St. is reserved for people with limited mobility, and a sticker, available from the church office, must be displayed in your car if you park there.

By public transportation: The closest Metrorail station is Columbia Heights, at 14th St. NW and Irving St. NW, just 3 blocks south and one block east of the church. Numerous bus lines run near the church, especially north and south on 16th St. NW, a major thoroughfare in the city.
