The story

Vilnius Book Fair in Vilnius

The Vilnius Book Fair is the Baltic region's largest book fair, drawing around three hundred publishers and over fifty-five thousand visitors to the Litexpo exhibition centre each late February for four days of author talks, launches, and cultural events. Organized jointly by Litexpo, the Lithuanian Culture Institute, and the Lithuanian Publishers Association, it functions as a national literary festival compressed into a single winter weekend rather than a purely commercial trade show.

In the depths of a Baltic winter, the Vilnius Book Fair fills the Litexpo exhibition halls with the largest concentration of publishers, readers, and literary events anywhere in the region.
