The Grove is BookCon’s leafy little hideaway — a story-soaked third space where the buzz of the show softens into something warm and welcoming. Tucked just off the main path, it’s a place for readers to linger, laugh, and let their imaginations stretch their legs.

Here, creativity grows wild. Step onto the workshop stage for hands-on sessions and spontaneous inspiration. Wander into maker spaces where ideas turn tangible. Swap a beloved paperback for a future favorite at the community book exchange. Sip something refreshing, sink into cozy seating, and strike up a conversation with someone who loves the same fictional heartbreaks and plot twists you do.

Part lounge, part laboratory, part literary living room — The Grove is where BookCon breathes.
