The Boekenbeurs (Book Fair Antwerp) is an annual book fair in the Belgian city of Antwerp. It was first organised in November 1932 in the city party hall on the Meir. The fair is held during November in the Antwerp Expo and is organised by the professional association Boek.be. At the Book Fair there are stands of publishers, importers and booksellers. Books are sold in the stands and authors from Belgium and abroad present themselves. There is also a program with lectures, author discussions, workshops and special theme days.
