Overview
- The 43rd edition runs from September 19 to 28 on Passeig Lluís Companys with free entry daily from 10:00 to 20:30.
- The site spans nearly 9,000 m² with about 94 casetas, 312 exhibitors and more than 300 activities, including 29 guided literary routes across the city.
- Opening weekend highlights include a conversation between Sergi Pàmies and Toni Sala, a youth freestyle “battle of books,” and over 60 family-focused events.
- Awards and tributes punctuate the program, with the Premi Difusió to journalist David Guzman on Sunday, a double homage to Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the Premi Trajectòria to Andreu Martín later in the week.
- Exhibitors voted to keep the event at Passeig Lluís Companys, and organizers say the venue boosts visibility but leaves little room for further physical expansion, with attendance expected to exceed 100,000 visitors.
