Lima will host its second annual Book and Reading Festival from June 26th to 28th at the Metropolitan Museum. The free event aims to highlight the importance of reading for critical thinking, dialogue, and cultural preservation. The festival will bring together independent publishers, bookstores, authors, and readers. Organizers emphasize that a city which reads is a city capable of resisting societal amnesia. This year’s event continues to promote the power of words and literacy within the community. The festival seeks to foster a vibrant literary culture in Lima. Further details can be found on Lima Gris.
