Open Book is Cape Town's literary festival, usually in September, with authors, publishers, and readers in bookshops and halls around the city. It is the concrete Cape Town event behind the wider "literary festivals" label. The 2027 dates are not yet published. This listing uses 8–12 September 2027. For BooksAffair the value is authors and the South African reading public on the coast, in the same month as the Johannesburg book fair. The two can be one South Africa trip if the final dates allow.
