The initial stage of the event, always located in the Cuban capital, will take place from today until February 21, then it will move to other provinces of the country, a sample of the massive and scope of one of the most waited events by Cubans throughout the year.

After the opening ceremony, from tomorrow the Fortaleza San Carlos de la Cabaña, the usual venue of the Fair, will be crowded with people looking for the most current and varied literary options, as well as a valid choice for recreation and spending free time with loved ones. For the 25th version of the cultural event, a similar structure to that of its predecessors is being prepared, with various subheadquarters, such as the Union of Artists and Writers of Cuba (UNEAC, in Spanish), the Dulce Maria Loynaz Center and the downtown Pabellón Cuba, among others.

Significantly, this edition is dedicated to Uruguay, a promising alliance in the literary aspect, due to the affinity of both literatures, one partnership only possible in events of this magnitude, where the South American country announced an extensive and multifunctional delegation for the occasion.

As it was recently announced, this edition will be dedicated to Cuban writers Lina de Feria and Rogelio Martínez Furé, National Literature Prize winners, to the disappeared novelist José Soler Puig, and to the 130th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Cuba.

Also, the Book Fair Cuba 2016, will be hosting participants from 37 countries from all the regions of the world among publishers, writers, distributors and artists, as well as the sale of thousands of books of the most diverse nature.
