Catania Book Festival 2026

From 24 to 26 April 2026, the Palazzo della Cultura in Catania will host the Catania Book Festival, the International Book and Culture Fair that transforms the city into a vibrant hub for meetings and exchanges.

For three days, Catania becomes a focal point for the national and international cultural scene, welcoming authors, publishers, artists and leading figures from the world of culture. The festival offers a varied programme ranging from literature to poetry, from cinema to science, and covering themes of innovation and new forms of contemporary expression.

Talks, presentations, workshops and panel discussions bring the Palazzo della Cultura to life, offering opportunities for dialogue and in-depth discussion open to a wide and diverse audience. The Catania Book Festival stands out for its ability to engage new generations of readers and forge connections between different forms of expression, making culture an accessible and shared experience.

The event thus reaffirms its status as a key fixture in the city’s cultural life, capable of enhancing the local area and promoting books as a tool for knowledge, growth and participation.
