Frankfurter Buchmesse | Oct. 7–11, 2026
Calling all book lovers and writers! The Frankfurt Book Fair is the largest trade fair for books in the world.
If you loved scholastic book fairs as a kid, this event is a much larger version, where you can peruse multiple genres of books and hear about upcoming new releases.
You can also meet authors, talk to literary agents and listen to seminars. The five-day annual event takes place on the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds. The opening days for the general public are from Oct. 9-11.
