“A Festa do Livro returns to the gardens of the Palácio de Belém from September 4 to September 7, with these dates already communicated to the relevant authorities,” reads a note published on the official website of the Presidency of the Republic.
Public entry will be via the Museum of the Presidency of the Republic or the Tropical Botanical Garden.
On September 4, the event takes place from 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM, on September 5 from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and on September 6 and 7 from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
The Festa do Livro in Belém is an initiative by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, which has been held annually since 2016 in the gardens of the Palácio de Belém, in partnership with the Portuguese Publishers and Booksellers Association (APEL).
The gardens are open to the public, who can visit dozens of exhibitors from publishing houses and booksellers.
Book presentations, autograph sessions, and conferences are usually organized, with a cultural program running concurrently.
