Vilnius Book Fair (Vilniaus knygų mugė)
About
The Baltics' largest book fair packs the LITEXPO halls with publishers, author talks and hundreds of events. Usually held in late February, the 2027 fair moves to 16–19 September to make way for Lithuania's EU Council presidency events.
Highlights
- Hundreds of events across four days, from readings to big-name discussions.
- Every major Lithuanian publisher under one roof, plus foreign guests.
- A one-off September date in 2027, after 26 editions as a late-winter fixture.
Practical tips
- Buy tickets online to skip the long entrance queues on weekends.
- Check the programme for any English-language author events.
- Thursday and Friday are calmer and easier for browsing than the weekend.
