The 26th Santo Domingo International Book Fair (FILSD 2024) will be held from 7 to 17 November 7 2024 on the grounds of the Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte in Santo Domingo.
The Ministry of Culture says that in upcoming weeks it will announce the name of the writer to whom the fair will be dedicated, and the guest country.
“The 2024 International Book Fair will be a window to the future of literature. With the introduction of innovative technologies and the inclusion of new voices, this edition promises to redefine the way we experience reading and cultural exchange,” said Culture Minister Milagros Germán.
The event congregates intellectuals and lovers of readers among the general public. The Ministry of Culture says that last year the fair attracted over 300,000 visitors when held at the Plaza de la Cultura grounds. The Ministry says that bookstores and publishing houses sold more than RD$50 million pesos in books.
The 10 days of celebration of the last FILSD 2023, the program included more than 350 activities, including conferences, colloquiums, talks, book presentations, workshops, exhibitions, children’s activities and a film exhibition, with a billboard of Israeli productions and Dominicans.
