Bokmässan 2026 is a major literary event that takes place in Göteborg, targeting a broad audience interested in literature, culture, and education. The event features a diverse lineup of speakers, including the renowned British author Maggie O'Farrell, who will be in attendance due to the film adaptation of her novel Hamnet and the release of her new book Land. Other notable speakers include Josef Fares, a successful game developer, and Andrzej Sapkowski, a Polish fantasy and horror author.
The program is divided into several themes, including Folkbildning and Spel, which will be showcased across the exhibition floor. The event also features a new area, Demokratitorget, and a new stage, Demokratiscenen, aimed at strengthening the event's role as a platform for discussions on literature and democracy.
The event includes a 2000 square meter children's area, Barnområdet, which offers a range of activities, such as author meet-and-greets, book signings, and interactive experiences. The area is designed to spark a love of reading in children and attract thousands of young visitors to the bookshelves.
The event will feature a variety of activities, including author talks, panel discussions, and workshops, as well as a marketplace where visitors can purchase books, merchandise, and other literary-related items. The event will take place in September, with tickets and passes available for purchase, including a Super Early Bird offer for those who buy in advance.
