Santiago Lee is back with its 2025 edition! This book and reading festival will be celebrating its third edition and the guest of honor will be San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas.
The first thing you should know is that this book festival is organized by the Government of Santiago, with the support of different public and private entities, and it is an event that has soon become a tradition to promote reading in this Magical Town.
This year it will take place from February 28 to March 2, and will be 100% free admission, so you can go with the whole family to enjoy the various exhibitions, shows and cultural events that will be held.
The exhibition and sale of books will take place in Santiago’s Plaza Principal Ocampo, and you can enjoy it on Friday from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.
However, Santiago Lee 2025 will have seven other venues that you should not miss: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Volare Casa Museo Taller, Restaurante Las Palomas, Librería La Mexicana, Fábrica el Porvenir Centro Cultural, Preparatoria No. 20 UANL and La Casa de la Abuela.
