The Gaithersburg Book Festival is located at Bohrer Park, 506 S. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. There is very limited parking at the Gaithersburg High School located at 101 Education Blvd., adjacent to the Festival grounds. However, this lot fills early, which is to say, you should NOT expect there to be any available parking on site.
