Poznań Book Fair – A Grand Celebration of Literature
The Poznań Book Fair is one of the biggest literary events in Poland, attracting crowds of fans, top authors, and major publishers every year. The fair traditionally takes place in March at the Poznań International Fair (MTP). It's not only an opportunity to shop but also a true cultural festival.
When does the Poznań Book Fair take place?
The Poznań Book Fair is held every year in March (usually the second weekend of the month) at MTP. Exact dates are announced on the organizer's website. The event typically spans three days (Friday–Sunday).
What Awaits Visitors?
The fair is an ideal place for both the publishing industry and entire families. Each edition features:
- Author Meetings: Hundreds of writers from Poland and abroad – from crime authors to non-fiction and fantasy.
- Comics and Games Zone: A paradise for fans of graphic novels and pop culture.
- Workshops for Children: Creative activities promoting reading among the youngest (Family Zone).
- Vinyl Market: A treat for collectors of vinyl records, often accompanying the fair.
