Tashkent Book Fest 2028
Dates taking place: October 2028 (Dates TBA)
Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan
If you've ever gotten so lost in a bookshop that the staff started to wonder if you'd ever come out, well, you were meant to be at Tashkent Book Fest 2028. Out of all the events in the culturally rich capital of Uzbekistan, this massive international book fair at Uzexpocentre might be the most exciting. Book lovers, writers, publishers, and all sorts of curious travelers congregate at all the events. Picture a literary theme park, where the rides are conversations with the most captivating authors and the souvenirs are incredibly heavy (and can never be keychains).
What to Expect
A lot. To elaborate, Tashkent Book Fest draws publishers from dozens of countries, stacks of new releases, rare editions, and probably books that threaten your luggage allowance. Visitors can browse collections from international and Uzbek publishers alike, meaning you can come looking for a thriller and leave with something in a language you are definitely going to learn. There is a Children's Literature Exhibition, which serves to entertain families and reminds parents that picture books are, in fact, decent after so many years.

Authors, Poets, and People Who Are Far More Interesting Than They Sound
A major reason to attend Tashkent Book Fest is to meet the people who write the books you read. Creative conversations, readings, and presentations offer the chance to put the audience and the authors (as well as the poets and artists) together. These are not boring affairs where people pretend to finish reading beforehand. Unlike these affairs, this event wants participants to be themselves, to let participants put their questions on the back row to awkward use. This is the time to find out why your favorite novelist made that particular decision in that problematic chapter.
Get Involved With Workshops and Masterclasses
You can expect to keep busy from reading and meet-the-author events at Tashkent Book Fest. Workshops, masterclasses, and discussions happen throughout the event and cover the finer points of writing and publishing. There’s something to do if you are a reader, an aspiring author, or just wanted to take a break from your boring Tashkent routine. All you may want to do is look at books, and you may arrive mildly curious, sign up to take a creative writing class, and completely rethink your career.
Tashkent Is Definitely Worth the Visit
Tashkent is the true definition of an underrated city. It has many things from ancient Silk Road history to Soviet inspired architecture to one of the largest and most culturally rich bazaars in the world.

Then, a top-tier book festival to add a cherry on top of the cake? You’ve got yourself the kind of trip that will live rent free in your conscious for years to come.
