A book fest with a cocktail in hand is still a full day on your feet — author signings at one end of the hall, vendor tables of rare and new titles at the other, and a wine or beer garden pulling you back and forth between them. The browsing is the whole point, so the day should stay about the books (and the wine), not about how far the walk back to the signing line is.
Boozy Book Fest 2026 runs October 3, 2026 at the Kansas City Convention Center (Bartle Hall). If you're planning to work the full floor — vendors, signings, and everything in between — a mobility scooter or wheelchair keeps the day comfortable. Reserve in about two minutes.
Why a one-day festival still means real distance
Bartle Hall's exhibit floor spans four contiguous halls on one connected level, and a festival like this spreads vendor tables, author signing lines, and refreshment areas across that whole footprint. A single day means covering it all in one push, and the best signing line or the vendor with the book you're after isn't always close to where you started.
How delivery works for Boozy Book Fest attendees
We deliver mobility scooters to your downtown Kansas City hotel — never to Bartle Hall itself, since convention loading docks run on show-contractor freight schedules, not individual rental drop-offs.
- Reserve your date (October 3).
- We stage the scooter at your hotel's bell stand before your scheduled check-in, cleaned and charged.
- Same-day delivery is available when you order by 2pm CT.
- Ride from your hotel to Bartle Hall; the scooter is yours for the day.
- We pick it up at your hotel on whatever schedule fits your departure.
The downtown hotels we deliver to most often for Bartle Hall events: the Kansas City Marriott Downtown (skywalk-connected directly to the convention center), the Loews Kansas City, the Hilton President, the Crowne Plaza Downtown, and the Westin and Sheraton at Crown Center. See the full Bartle Hall accessibility guide for entrance, elevator, and parking detail.
What to rent for a full day of vendors and signings
A 3-wheel scooter's tighter turning radius makes it easy to pull in close to a vendor table or a signing line, then pivot back out toward the next stop. Compare scooters. If you're attending with a friend who can push, a manual wheelchair (16 to 20 inch seat widths) is a lighter option. Compare wheelchairs.
