The wait is almost over! In just one more day, the city of Frankfurt will burst into color, creativity, and conversation as the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse opens its doors. It’s where the world’s literary hearts beat as one—publishing experts, authors, creative minds, and culture lovers all gathering to celebrate the power of words. Deals will be made, ideas exchanged, and stories—both written and lived—will take center stage.
This year’s fair promises to be bigger and bolder than ever. The Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025 isn’t just about books—it’s a celebration of storytelling in every form.

And with the new Frankfurt Connect platform, the fair breaks boundaries, linking in-person and online worlds for a truly global experience. Whether you’re wandering through the halls or tuning in from miles away, the conversations will reach you.
Adding even more sparkle to this year’s celebration is the Philippines, shining bright as the Guest of Honor with its theme “Mabuhay! Beyond Pages.” 🇵🇭 This moment marks a milestone for Filipino literature and culture, showcasing the nation’s rich storytelling traditions—woven from resilience, heritage, and a deep love for community. Visitors to the Philippine Pavilion will not only discover remarkable books but also experience the country’s soul through art, music, and cuisine—a feast for both mind and heart.
But the excitement doesn’t stop inside the fairgrounds! The “Jeepney Journey” brings a splash of Filipino flair to the streets of Frankfurt. From October 13 to 18, an authentic jeepney—colorful, creative, and full of life—will transform Roßmarkt into a lively cultural stage. Expect music, workshops, hands-on activities, and mouthwatering Filipino food that will make you feel like you’ve just stepped into the heart of Manila.
So, get ready—tomorrow, stories will take over Frankfurt! Whether you’re there to network, be inspired, or simply soak in the atmosphere, this year’s Buchmesse is shaping up to be unforgettable.
