FiLiAZ 2026: A celebration of children’s literature in Mexico City

From March 13 to 22, 2026, the second edition of FiLiAZ will take place at Aztlán in Mexico City.

This festival is dedicated to culture and literature, and it promises to be an unmissable gathering for children, teenagers, families, and book lovers from across Mexico.

The cultural program will feature a wide range of activities, including book presentations and signings, interactive workshops, and engaging talks with authors and other prominent figures. Visitors will be able to enjoy exhibitions and live performances such as theatre, music, and puppetry, as well as reading rooms, storytelling sessions, and read-aloud events. The festival will also host the award ceremony for its poster design competition, highlighting creativity and artistic talent.

As the great celebration of children's and teenagers' literature, FiLiAZ 2026 will bring together distinguished national and international authors, offering young readers the opportunity to connect directly with the creators of the stories they love.
