Launched in 2014 by the Kahramanmaraş Metropolitan Municipality, the International Kahramanmaraş Book and Culture Fair has evolved into one of Türkiye’s most significant cultural and literary gatherings. Celebrating its 10th edition in 2025, the fair continues to enrich the city’s cultural landscape by bringing together readers of all ages, esteemed authors, publishers, and cultural figures.
Beyond a marketplace for books, the fair offers a multi-layered experience where literature comes to life through intellectual dialogues, creative workshops, and signing sessions. This inspiring atmosphere not only fosters a deep love for reading among the youth but also serves as a vibrant platform for the exchange of contemporary ideas between local and international storytellers.
The fair’s sustained vision played a pivotal role in Kahramanmaraş’s historic designation as a UNESCO City of Literature on 31 October 2025. This international recognition has further amplified the impact of the fair, positioning it as a global attraction. Today, the Kahramanmaraş Book and Culture Fair stands as a testament to the unifying power of art, continuing to establish the city as a major intellectual crossroads on the international stage.
