This promotion runs from 9 PM to 10 PM, Monday to Thursday, starting the fair's second week, with participation from 68 brands including Bertrand, Porto Editora, Planeta, Fnac, and LeYa.
Autograph Sessions and Musical Performances
Daily autograph sessions with renowned authors such as Carla Madeira, Brazil's best-selling author in 2023, and José Rodrigues dos Santos, known for his bestsellers and a book on social media's impact on modern societies, are highlights. The fair also boasts live music nearly every day, starting with the Orquestra Geração on opening day and closing with a special concert by Teresa Salgueiro on June 20th.
Family-Friendly Activities
Families can enjoy dedicated programming, including workshops, staged readings, and the return of "Camping with Stories", a unique experience for children aged 8 to 10.
