EVENT DESCRIPTION
The 35th Hong Kong Book Fair, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will be held from 16 to 22 July at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), running together with the HKTDC Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo and the HKTDC World of Snacks. These three major summer fairs will feature more than 770 exhibitors, offering a vibrant array of cultural and lifestyle experiences.
The theme of this year’s Book Fair is “Food Culture･Future Living”, inviting readers to explore diverse aspects of food culture through reading, savouring the cultural nuances and lifestyle attitudes behind various texts and delving into new food cultures shaped by future technologies to experience the joy brought by both reading and dining. The World of Art & Culture will present an exhibition titled “Book a Table･Food for Thought” that features eight tables curated by eight artists, each exploring themes related to food and healthy living, surplus and future, table etiquette, lifestyle and culture, process, experience, music, art, and more. The exhibition will showcase related books and exhibits from around the world, while an interactive device onsite will recommend books and exhibits to visitors.
The Book Fair’s Eight Seminar Series covers diverse topics including Theme of the Year, Renowned Writers, English and International Reading, World of Knowledge, Children and Youth Reading, Hong Kong Cultural and Historical, Lifestyle and Personal Development and Spiritual Growth, inviting a stellar line-up of celebrated Chinese and international authors to join the seminars in person. There will be over 620 cultural activities both onsite and offsite, providing diverse programmes for booklovers.
This year, the HKTDC is collaborating with M1 Group Limited to bring the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Hong Kong 2025 international event to the HKCEC for the first time, running alongside the Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo. A single ticket offers entry to all three fairs and the carnival-style 3×3 Village, where visitors can enjoy interactive sports booth games as well as sports product showcases.
