Leipzig Book Fair

The Leipzig Book Fair (German: Leipziger Buchmesse) is the second largest book fair in Germany after the Frankfurt Book Fair. The fair takes place annually over four days at the Leipzig Trade Fairground in the northern part of Leipzig, Saxony. It is the first large trade meeting of the year and as such it plays an important role in the market and is often where new publications are first presented. The 2025 fair was held on 27–30 March.

The Leipzig Book Fair generates most of its revenue from the general public. The evening program includes readings by authors in bookshops, cafes and the historic Leipzig City Hall.
