“Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys”
ARPress is excited to announce its participation in the 2026 Hong Kong Book Fair, taking place July 15–21, 2026, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Known for championing diverse voices and thought-provoking works, ARPress will join leading global publishers, authors, and readers at one of Asia’s largest and most anticipated literary events. Returning to the Hong Kong Book Fair reflects ARPress’ growing international presence and ongoing commitment to connecting stories across cultures. The Hong Kong Book Fair is a true celebration of the written word, and we look forward to engaging with readers, writers, and the global publishing community.
ARPress will feature a curated selection of titles spanning fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to discover new releases, meet our team, and learn more about ARPress’ publishing mission. While rooted in a strong independent spirit, ARPress embraces a global outlook. Our catalog features voices from diverse cultures and continents, and we remain committed to building bridges between readers and writers through translation, international partnerships, and participation in book fairs around the world.
Every summer, the Hong Kong Book Fair transforms the city into a vibrant hub for literature, culture, and creative exchange. From July 15 to 21, 2026, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will once again welcome hundreds of thousands of readers, publishers, authors, educators, and literary professionals from around the world.
The Hong Kong Book Fair is one of Asia’s premier literary events, bringing together more than 770 exhibitors from nearly 30 countries and regions. It offers publishers an exceptional platform to showcase their titles to an international audience, establish foreign rights partnerships, and connect with distributors, booksellers, and industry professionals throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Beyond book sales, the fair serves as a valuable venue for strengthening international publishing networks and expanding global visibility.
The theme of the 36th Hong Kong Book Fair is “Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys.” This year’s theme invites readers to explore the richness of cultural heritage through literature while celebrating the joy of travel, discovery, and shared human experiences. Through books, visitors are encouraged to embark on journeys across generations, traditions, and cultures, gaining fresh perspectives on the stories that shape our world.
Complementing the annual theme is the “World of Art and Culture” exhibition zone, which highlights literary and artistic works from around the globe. Visitors can also enjoy an extensive program of seminars, author talks, exhibitions, and cultural events featuring renowned writers, scholars, artists, and industry experts. Together, these activities create meaningful opportunities for dialogue, learning, and cross-cultural exchange.
The Hong Kong Book Fair is held alongside the Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo and the World of Snacks, creating a dynamic summer destination where visitors can enjoy literature, culture, leisure, and culinary experiences all in one place.
Whether you’re introducing a new catalog, seeking publishing partnerships in Asia, or connecting with fellow authors, publishers, and readers, the 2026 Hong Kong Book Fair offers an invaluable opportunity to expand your reach. For ARPress and the independent publishing community, it is more than an exhibition—it is a celebration of stories that preserve cultural heritage, inspire meaningful journeys, and bring people together across borders.
