The Fair opens at 5 p.m. with a welcome reception and a panel discussion titled Independent Publishing Now. The panel features Will Dady from Renard Press and Indie Press Network (UK), Eimear Ryan from Banshee (IE), and Brendan Mac Evilly from Holy Show (IE).

From 6 to 9 p.m., browse the work of more than thirty book makers, small presses, zine distributors and makers, independent publishers, and literary magazines from Ireland and abroad. Discover new work that is often unavailable in bookshops and share in a celebration of the book in all its forms.
