About the Tecolote Open Page Party

The Tecolote Open Page Party is a new annual Tecolote tradition celebrating books published by Baja authors during the previous year. Every November we gather to welcome the newest additions to our Local Author Shelf, introduce readers to remarkable local writers, celebrate newly published books, and raise a toast to another year of creativity in our community.

As each year's celebration grows a little larger, we will be welcoming more authors, new books, and new voices to Baja's literary family.

About Tecolote Bookstore

Tecolote Bookstore is a community literary hub in the heart of Todos Santos, offering books, workshops, author events, concerts, film nights, classes, and creative gatherings throughout the year. The bookstore's garden has quickly become a favorite meeting place for readers, writers, artists, musicians, and curious minds. We believe every great community deserves a great independent bookstore who champions local authors.
