With the theme 'Multidimensional Bangladesh', the Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2026 will begin on Thursday, February 26, and will continue to March 15.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will inaugurate the fair at 2:00 pm on the day, the Bangla Academy said at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, February 24.
The Book Fair, which generally starts on the first day of February every year, will commence on February 26 this year, as it had been deferred due to the 13th parliamentary election held on February 12.
This year, a total of 549 publishers are taking part in the fair, the event organising committee's member secretary, Selim Reza, said at the press conference.
