Every July, Hong Kong’s cultural calendar reaches its peak with the HKTDC Hong Kong Book Fair, now celebrating its 36th edition from 15–21 July 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This year’s theme, Reading the World: Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys, invites readers to explore heritage, traditions, and travel through the written word.

  • Special Zones:
    • World of Art & Culture — blending literature with travel and lifestyle.

  • Concurrent Events: Your ticket also grants access to the Sports and Leisure Expo and the World of Snacks, featuring interactive sports activities and over 1,300 snack products from around the globe.

With 600+ cultural events citywide, the Book Fair is more than browsing shelves — it’s a festival of ideas. Whether you’re a family seeking children’s workshops, a student chasing inspiration, or a casual visitor curious about global culture, the fair offers something for everyone.

So, will you leave with a rare edition, a notebook full of insights, or simply a renewed love for reading? Whatever your takeaway, July in Hong Kong proves that the Book Fair is a celebration of curiosity, culture, and connection.
