Belém Book Festival | Lisbon
Celebration
The new Belém Traditional Book Festival will be held from September 17th to 20th. This initiative, decided by the President of the Republic, transforms Belém Palace into a stage for celebrating books, reading, and exchange among Portuguese-language literature readers and writers. As always, the event includes panel discussions, live interviews, new book launches, concerts, and open-air cinemas, while retaining activity areas for children and teenagers, as well as outdoor seating and restaurants. The book festival returns to the Belém Palace gardens and, as always, is organized in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Publishers and Booksellers (APEL).
