Vilnius Book Fair 2026

We invite you to the 26th Vilnius Book Fair – the largest book fair in the Baltic states and one of the brightest and most anticipated cultural events in Lithuania. This year’s theme is “The word in search of human”, inviting everyone to discover a living dialogue of literature, music, and togetherness.

This celebration of reading and literary culture brings visitors from all over Lithuania together every year for author meetings, book launches, discussions, concerts, exhibitions, creative workshops, and other cultural activities.

Each year, around 300 publishers and other cultural organizations from Lithuania and abroad participate in the fair, hosting over 300 events and concerts, and attracting more than 55,000 visitors over four days.

News and Guests
At the fair, you can often find books fresh off the press. Visitors have the opportunity to be among the first to get the newest works by Lithuanian and international authors. The tradition continues – attendees can also collect autographs from their favorite writers. Publishers will invite special guests, with announcements coming closer to the event.

Young Readers’ Hall
In the Young Readers’ Hall, visitors can enjoy a wide selection of new books, creative workshops, and stage events. An open Library Space, organized by Lithuanian librarians, will also be available, and children’s book creators will host interactive sessions. In the Youth Zone, young visitors can participate in discussions on topics that matter most to them.

Music Hall
As always, the Music Hall will offer a diverse program, bringing together most of Lithuania’s musicians under one roof. It is the country’s largest music publishing fair, featuring concerts, talks, and meet-and-greets. In 2026, the Music Hall will celebrate its 11th edition.
