There are ghazal night, poetry fests and folk functions which are part of cultural programs. There will be 180 stalls for visitors. There is a separate kid section that has books for children. Parents accompanying kids can look forward to sharpening their kids' skills with competitions like storytelling and story-writing, which are at the venue every day. A talk for youths will also be held every day to discuss issues relevant to society. There is also a free parking facility for visitors. Our colorful Ahemdabadi’s can also find historical and devotional books and romance and crime in the book fair.
