13th Anarchist bookfair

This year, after some time, the Anarchist Bookfair will be a one-day event and will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Štvanice in Prague, in the premises of the Bike Jesus and Fuchs2 clubs.

As usual, publishers and distributors of anarchist literature not only from Czechia and Slovakia, but also from abroad will be present. The festival is not just a sales presentation of books and literature. It is primarily a meeting place where you can meet not only small publishers and authors face to face, but also various organizations, collectives, and groups from the wider anti-authoritarian movement. It is a place where you can meet real people and get to know organizations and collectives in a different way than from statements on websites, a place where you can establish new relationships and friendships, a place where you can discuss new projects and collaborations.

The bookfair will be followed by a music program at the Bike Jesus club.
