The Kolkata International Book Fair is the city’s most eagerly awaited cultural event and offers something for everyone. The scope of this year’s event will go way beyond books, with visitors enjoying a world food market, employment fairs and other entertainment.

The event will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year and the focal theme will be the USA. Authors will be invited form America to read excerpts from their publications and discuss their latest works. Visitors can enjoy intimate talks with American writers at different locations around the venue.
