Budapest Book Week Will Stay Downtown
- 30 Mar 2016 9:00 AM
Mayor István Tarlós promised on Tuesday that the annual Book Week event will be held on downtown Vörösmarty tér as usual. Last week’s reports that a city council committee wanted to move the event from Vörösmarty tér were based on a misunderstanding, Tarlós said.
Tarlós and Sándor András Kocsis, president of the Book Publishers and Distributors Association, met for 50 minutes on Tuesday.
Tarlós personally guaranteed that the annual literary festival will take place on Vörösmarty tér until the end of his term in 2019.
This year’s Book Week is scheduled for June 9-13.
