The 30th Lima International Book Fair concluded with over 400,000 attendees and sales exceeding 18 million soles. However, attendance figures fell short of the 540,000 recorded in 2025. The change of location to Surco, a shorter event duration, and access difficulties at the Jockey venue sparked debate amongst readers. Concerns arose regarding the suitability of the new location and its impact on visitor numbers. Despite the lower attendance, the fair still generated significant economic activity through book sales. The event’s success is now being weighed against the challenges presented by the venue change, leading to questions about future planning. Organizers are likely to review the feedback and consider alternative locations for upcoming editions.
