The first World Book Fest was held in Cork in 2005, when the city was European Capital of Culture. The Fest brings books and reading to the centre of Cork life for these four days; the highlight is the street fair on the Saturday, with more than thirty stalls plus street entertainment just outside the Central Library, all along the Grand Parade, and in Bishop Lucey Park. It is this ‘fair day’ atmosphere that distinguishes the Fest from other literary events around Ireland.
