The Book Festival in Belém is an initiative of the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, held annually since 2016 in the gardens of the Palace of Belém, in partnership with the Portuguese Publishers and Booksellers Association (APEL).
Over the course of four days, the gardens of the Palace of Belém are open to the public and host dozens of publishers and booksellers’ stands, alongside a wide range of book launches, signing sessions and talks.
Running in parallel is a cultural programme that has already featured music, dance, theatre, cinema and poetry.
