Park Zvezda, 1000 Ljubljana

The all-day outdoor book fair offers a great opportunity for socializing, getting to know publishers, and meeting those who are dedicated to promoting excellent books in Slovenian.

Every year, on World Book and Copyright Day and on other occasions, they celebrate their love for literature with Open-Air Book Fairs in cooperation with the publishing community. In Ljubljana, a UNESCO City of Literature, these fairs are a fantastic way to experience the city's vibrant literary scene firsthand.

We set up stalls or tables in the city centre, where publishers stack them high with their best wares – at discounted prices, of course. It's a great opportunity to meet the publishers themselves, network, and attend book launches. The fairs are also bustling with meetings, discussions, author signings, and music, making them a dynamic and engaging experience.

Books in English

Ljubljana, City of Literature will be present at the fair as the organiser but also as a stall with books by Slovenian authors in translation! Welcome to browse, get to know, read and buy Slovenian books in English.

Let’s gather under the open sky and honour the world of books together!
