About this event

The Frankfurt Book Fair is one of the world's largest publishing events, transforming the Messe Frankfurt into a bustling hub of literature and ideas. Over the public weekend, book lovers can explore thousands of exhibits from international publishers, meet bestselling authors, attend readings and panel discussions on multiple stages, and discover everything from manga and graphic novels to audiobooks and podcasts. The Frankfurt Kids Festival offers hands-on activities, storytelling, and author signings for young readers, while the New Adult and BookTok communities gather for fan meet-ups and the TikTok Book Awards. Whether you're a seasoned bibliophile or just looking for a day of browsing and inspiration, the fair provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the global world of books.
