Chennai Book Fair (earlier Madras Book Fair) is an annual book fair organized in Chennai, India by the Booksellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI). The fair typically lasts for about two weeks during the New Year-Pongal season, that is between the last week of December and the third week of January.[1] It is the second largest book fair in the country after the Kolkata Book Fair.[2] All major Tamil and English publishing houses participate in this fair. It is considered an important event in the Chennai cultural calendar along with the Chennai music season.
