BOOK FEST VILNIUS

BOOK FEST VILNIUS – a new-generation literary festival taking place from February 25 to 28, 2027, at the Contemporary Art Centre in the very heart of Vilnius.

The festival arrives with the message “Books Read the City.” Today, reading is no longer just a quiet, private activity: books live in conversations, cafés, galleries and get-togethers with friends. BOOK FEST VILNIUS invites audiences to experience literature as a vibrant part of contemporary urban culture.

The festival’s strength lies not in the number of events, but in their selection. Its carefully curated programme will bring together Lithuanian authors and international guests, featuring new book presentations, topical conversations and discussions about how we read today, what shapes our reading habits and the role literature plays in an ever-changing world.

Publishers will set up their stands at the Contemporary Art Centre, showcasing their latest books, while a separate hall will be dedicated to art books – publications on literature, design, photography, architecture and contemporary art. English-language readers will also find plenty to discover. Sunday will be dedicated to children and young people, with a special programme prepared for them.

This is a festival for people who see books as more than just reading.

The programme and guest announcements will be released gradually.
