Sofia's 'Book Alley' Returns on September 9

"Book Alley" will return to Sofia from September 9 to 15, taking place along Vitosha Boulevard and in the park in front of the National Palace of Culture (NDK). This year's event, organized by the "Bulgarian Book" Association, will feature a special non-fiction literature festival titled "Science, Art, and Culture." Over two days, the festival will showcase works in categories such as history, art studies, cultural tourism, self-knowledge, and ethnology.

The festival will kick off with an opening ceremony in the literary corner, highlighted by a musical performance from Trio Misty. For the second consecutive year, Sofia will join cities like Plovdiv, Botevgrad, Gabrovo, and Varna in hosting Book Alley. This event offers visitors a chance to delve into the world of books, celebrate literature, and engage with a dynamic literary community.

Book Alley operates from 10:00 to 20:00 Monday through Saturday, and from 10:00 to 19:00 on Sunday, September 15. The fair will feature a variety of activities, including book premieres, author meet-and-greets, poetry readings, and autograph signings. Attendees will also enjoy performances, exhibitions, and educational programs suitable for all ages.
