The Kochi International Book Festival is the main book event for Kerala's reading public and a tier-two stop for South Indian publishers and authors. DC Books and local partners have built it into a large open-air fair of Malayalam and English publishing, author sessions, and family crowds. The 2027 dates are not yet published. This listing uses 28 November to 7 December 2027, the festival's usual late-November to early-December window. The grounds are typically in Ernakulam. For BooksAffair the festival is how to meet Kerala publishers, Malayalam authors, and a reading culture that buys books in serious volume. It sits well after the January fairs in Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai, so it is a second-half-of-the-year South India trip rather than part of the January circuit.
