FIL Lima Opens 30th Edition at Centro de Exposiciones Jockey

Organizers aim to broaden attendance through a mix of measures including a limited free-entry window, free shuttle service, tiered ticket pricing, targeted concessions

Overview

  • The 30th Feria Internacional del Libro de Lima opened on Wednesday at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey, shifting the fair from Parque Próceres to a larger site to handle greater crowds.
  • On opening day organizers activated a complimentary access window from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and confirmed free admission categories for children under six, people 65 and older, and registrants with Conadis.
  • A free shuttle service is operating from Jockey Plaza and Parque de la Amistad with departures every 15 minutes for attendees presenting valid entry.
  • The first-week program continues with creator Chuy Mine and Jaime Bayly presenting books on July 25, the VI Encuentro Internacional de Bookfluencers and an Oswaldo Chanove tribute on July 26, and a homage to Alfredo Bryce Echenique on July 28.
  • Tickets are available through Teleticket and the on-site box office with subsidized weekday and student rates, and Ecuador is featured this year as País Invitado de Honor as organizers mix family programming with digital-creator events to widen readership.
