BuchBasel transforms the city every year into a central meeting place for contemporary literature. Through our commitment, we support a festival that strengthens the Basel literary scene and facilitates creative encounters between the audience, authors, and the book industry.
BuchBasel is one of the central literary events in Switzerland and focuses on the diversity of contemporary literature every year in November. Throughout an entire weekend, readings, book premieres, conversations, and discussions take place in Basel, attracting a broad audience interested in literature. The events are spread throughout the city and occur in bookstores, cultural centers, libraries, museums, and other places that become literary meeting points during these days.
BuchBasel brings together authors from Switzerland and the international scene, allowing for direct encounters between the audience and writers. Many of the featured titles shape the literary conversation of the year and bring new voices to the forefront. The diverse program creates an open space for exchange, inspiration, and perspectives on current themes and narratives.
We support BuchBasel as a sponsor because this festival makes an important contribution to the literary culture of the region and strengthens the collaboration between readers, publishers, bookstores, and authors. BuchBasel is a fixed part of the Swiss cultural calendar and demonstrates once again every year how vibrant the literary scene in Basel is.
The Swiss Book Voucher is actively involved in promoting the book trade and literature. Every year, we support numerous events and projects that celebrate the diversity and importance of reading. Here you will find a selection of our support projects that help to keep the world of books alive and spread the joy of reading.
