The Hong Kong Book Fair Returns For Its 35th Edition In 2025

The 35th edition of the HKTDC Hong Kong Book Fair will take place from 16 to 22 July 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this annual literary celebration brings together publishers, authors, and readers to promote the culture of reading and storytelling.

This year’s theme, “Food Culture • Future Living”, explores how culinary traditions and modern lifestyles shape our narratives and communities. Visitors can look forward to seminars featuring renowned authors from around the world, cultural showcases, and the inspiring “World of Art and Culture” zone.

The fair offers a diverse range of books in both English and Chinese, making it a bilingual experience for readers of all backgrounds. Popular zones such as English Avenue, Children’s Paradise, and Teens’ World ensure there’s something for everyone—whether you’re into fiction, food writing, self-help, or science.

Running from 10am to 10pm daily (closing early at 5pm on 22 July), the Hong Kong Book Fair is a must-visit event for anyone passionate about books, ideas, and cultural discovery.

Some of the many product types that will be on sale include books, stationery and craft products, e-books, and e-learning resources, as well as multimedia products. This book fair of a grand scale only comes once a year and is not one to be missed!
