Oulu Book Fair
The Oulu Writers’ Association is organizing the third Oulu Book Fair on October 9–11, 2026. The fair features interviews about new book releases as well as themed discussions.
The Oulu Book Fair presents a diverse lineup of authors from across Finland and from the local area. A couple of foreign authors will also attend. The fair offers programming for all ages and showcases a wide range of literary genres, including novels, nonfiction, children’s and young adult books, poetry, and comics. Part of the program is specifically designed for children. The nominees for the 2026 Botnia Prize will also be announced at the fair.
At the exhibition stands, publishers will sell books. The purpose of the fair is to highlight literature, promote book sales, and encourage reading.
Our impact to Culture-
climate change
The Oulu Book Fair is unique in both atmosphere and location, as it is held in central Oulu buildings – unlike other major book fairs – making it easily accessible and locally distinctive.
