Programme
City of Books Festival consists of a book fair, a pop-up bookstore that takes place twice a year: firstly, in May or June, and secondly, in December, as a New Year’s book fair called Books Under the Trees. The pop-up bookstore offers access to quality literature, presents new books in conversation with authors, as well as round tables, discussions, literary events, themed multi-day workshops, film screenings, music events and informal gatherings. In 2020, for example, thirty publishers participated in the pop-up bookstore, which makes the City of Books festival almost the largest book fair in Slovenia.
City of Books differs from other book fairs in that it is thematically rounded. The first City of Books Festival took place on Bevk Square in Nova Gorica in May 2016, and its main theme was dedicated to the issue of the border in the Goriška region. The festival was held in 2017 on the theme of the city, in 2018 on the theme of war and peace, in 2019 on the theme of water, and in 2020 under the title Margin.
