What is special in Vilnius Book fair?

Young Readers’ Book Hall

The always lively and bustling Young Readers’ Book Hall will delight visitors with both the abundance of new books at the publishers’ stands, and the variety of creative activities and stage events. The hall will feature the LIBRARY OPEN created by Lithuanian librarians, famous children’s authors will invite guests to workshops in the CREATIVE SPACE WITHOUT FORMULAS, and the work of well-known book illustrators from Lithuania and abroad will be presented in the BOOK COUNTRY creative studio. Pulsating with energy, the YOUTH SPOT will give young people a chance not only to participate in discussions about the things that are important to them, but also to relax. For the second year in a row, the people behind the cosy BOOK START corner will be waiting for the youngest readers with open hearts.

15min Forum

A place for serious topics and intellectual conversations that will host discussions, presentations of new publications, and short talks about the latest books, while also drawing attention to current social and cultural problems. Like every year, this will be a place for DISCUSSION CLUB players to meet – famous figures from culture, art, society and science in Lithuania and abroad.

LRT Hall (Hall 5.1)

One of the fair’s long-time partners is Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT), and their hall will be used to broadcast the most popular VBF events, discussions and book presentations.

Music Hall

Like every year, a unique programme and a space that will amaze you with its content are being organised by the Lithuanian Neighbouring Rights Association (AGATA), bringing together the majority of Lithuania’s musicians under one roof. This is the largest Lithuanian music production fair, with dozens of concerts, talks and meetings.
