The story

Yerevan Book Festival in Yerevan

Armenia's largest literature and publishing event, held each September across Republic Square, the History Museum and the National Gallery in Yerevan since 2017, featuring over fifty publishers, international authors and an annual literary competition drawing hundreds of submissions. Its central Republic Square location gives the festival genuine civic prominence within the capital.

Yerevan International Book Festival has grown since its 2017 launch into the largest programme dedicated to literature and book publishing anywhere in Armenia, transforming the capital's most significant public and cultural spaces into a three-day celebration of reading, writing and publishing each September.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Now reaching its eighth edition with more than fifty participating publishers and organizations and an annual literary competition drawing over 350 submissions in recent years, Yerevan International Book Festival has grown into a genuinely substantial civic literary event occupying some of the capital's most significant public spaces, from Republic Square to the National Gallery of Armenia

02

The mystery stays covered

That institutional scale, now drawing more than fifty publishers and hundreds of literary competition submissions annually, reflects genuine sustained investment in Armenia's literary culture rather than a one-off promotional event staged purely for tourism purposes
