Multiple stages will be set up for a variety of activities, including talks with authors, book presentations, live writing sessions, and artistic performances.
Of course, the stars of the night will be the bookstores located between Callao and Cerrito, which will remain open to the public and showcase their vast collections. Restaurants along the avenue will join in on the festivities by offering special discounts to diners.
The celebration will also extend to other parts of Buenos Aires. In the historic neighborhood of San Telmo, readings, poetry sessions, and live music will take center stage, hosted across its charming and iconic cafés.
