The Book Fair will run in parallel with the 5th HKTDC Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo and 2nd HKTDC World of Snacks, giving visitors the chance to enjoy three very different experiences with a single ticket.

Theme of the year: "History and City Literature"

The theme of this year's Book Fair is "History and City Literature", with the tagline "Reading the World: Stories of Hong Kong". The HKTDC will introduce celebrated authors and their outstanding works to booklovers, giving them a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's historical and cultural development and promoting the joy of reading among the public. Thematic exhibitions titled "History Writers" and "City Literature" will be featured at the Art Gallery, allowing visitors to savour Hong Kong's unique story through literature and arts. Two other exhibitions, "Tastes of Hong Kong" and "Hong Kong Architecture", will offer different perspectives on the city's lifestyle and culture through collections and artworks.

The "Eight Seminar Series" is one of the highlights at the Book Fair. This year's topics include "Stories of Hong Kong", "Renowned Writers", "English and International Reading", "World of Knowledge", "Children and Youth Reading", "Lifestyle", "Hong Kong Cultural and Historical", and "Personal Development and Spiritual Growth". Meanwhile, the always popular "Storytelling by Celebrities" series will invite star speakers to share inspirational stories with children.
