The Nairobi International Book Fair 2025, with the theme “Inspiring Readers, Shaping Futures,” will be held in the East African city from September 24 – 28, 2025.
The Nairobi International Book Fair, organised annually by the Kenya Publishers Association, has brought together publishers, authors, booksellers, print suppliers, media, and readers from Africa and worldwide since the first edition in 1996.
The Nairobi International Book Fair 2025 will be held for the twenty-sixth time at the Sarit Expo Centre in Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya, from September 24 – 28. With the theme “Inspiring Readers, Shaping Futures,” it will feature activities targeted at children to cultivate life-long attachment with books, as today’s children are the readers, authors, and publishers of tomorrow.
Those who attend will get to interact with their favourite authors, attend book launches, and participate in discussions on the promotion of lifelong learning. The Book Exhibition will feature books at highly discounted prices.
The fair will be dedicated to the memory of the late Prof. Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, celebrating his contributions to literature and culture.
