Guadalajara International Book Fair 2026
About Guadalajara International Book Fair
One of the largest book fairs in the Spanish-speaking world, focusing on rights trading, publisher exhibits, and cultural programming.
FIL Guadalajara 2026
The Guadalajara International Book Fair — FIL Guadalajara — runs 28 November – 6 December 2026 at Expo Guadalajara, Av. Mariano Otero 1499, Guadalajara, Mexico.
FIL is the largest gathering of the Spanish-language publishing world and, by most measures, the most important book fair in the Americas. It runs a double life: the opening days centre on professional rights trading and publishing business, while the full nine-day run is a massive public literary festival that draws hundreds of thousands of readers.
For publishers, agents and rights professionals working in or into the Spanish-language market, FIL is the essential annual fixture — the counterpart role Frankfurt plays for the global market.
