The International Book Fair, the cultural event that brings together the Villaclareño family and the most diverse audiences around literary genres, is held every year. This cultural event is considered the most significant event of the Cuban publishing movement. It began to be held in 1982, with a biennial cycle, and since 2000, it begins to be held annually. Each edition is dedicated to a writer and country different from the previous ones. This celebration also extends to the remaining provinces of the country.
