2026 Latin American book fairs

In late July 2026, Brazil’s São Paulo announced its upcoming book‑fair season, detailing the May‑June Feira do Livro at Pacaembu and the September Bienal do Livro at the Anhembi complex, including ticket pricing and program highlights such as a new book launch and panels on architecture and urban memory.

A few days later, the focus broadened to other countries. Mexico inaugurated the 26th International Children and Youth Book Fair in Hidalgo, presenting state literature awards and a schedule of hundreds of activities. In Peru, the 30th International Book Fair in Lima entered its final week, offering free shuttles and a diverse cultural program, while the Junín Book Fair concluded with author talks and a conference on conflict. Bolivia’s fair featured a concert by Andean singer Luzmila Carpio, celebrating indigenous languages. Together, these snapshots illustrate a region‑wide surge of literary events in 2026, each highlighting local authors, cultural initiatives, and public engagement across Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.
