Bologna Children’s Book Fair

The year 2024 will see the 61st edition of the Bologna Children's Book Fair, considered an important reference point for all those involved in publishing.  The fair will be held from 8 to 11 April in the halls of Bologna Fiere. 

For years, this fair has welcomed professionals from the audiovisual sector who want to turn illustrations into fiction and animation. For the first time this edition, Bologna Children's Book Fair will offer them the new TV films/ rights Centre, a business area that will welcome audiovisual producers, opening the doors to greater collaboration between publishing and the audiovisual world.

This edition also sees the return of Bologna Book Plus, an area dedicated to generalist publishing that welcomes over 50 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions, and Bologna Licensing Trade Fair/Kids in which, in addition to the exhibition area, over a thousand brands and properties will be represented.
