Book lovers, stationery enthusiasts, and bargain hunters in Malaysia, mark your calendars! BookFest Malaysia 2026 is back, and it promises to be bigger and more exciting than ever. Taking place at the iconic KLCC from 18 to 26 March 2026, this event isn’t just about books—it’s a celebration of knowledge, imagination, and unbeatable deals that are too good to miss.
For those who love an early start, 18 March is the day to be there. BookFest Malaysia kicks off with its highly anticipated Early Bird Privileges, designed specifically for those who can’t wait to get their hands on the best reads at the best prices. On this day, BookFest offers a remarkable “Buy 2 books at 30% off” deal, applicable on all titles. That’s right—whatever genre they are into, from fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, self-help, or cookbooks, the discount applies across the board. It’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on books for themselves, their friends, or even as gifts for loved ones, while saving substantially compared to standard prices.
The excitement doesn’t end there. Entry to the early bird event is completely free, allowing everyone to experience the festival without any upfront costs. This makes it an excellent chance for casual browsers and serious collectors alike to explore the latest titles, meet fellow book enthusiasts, and soak in the atmosphere of a festival dedicated entirely to reading.
For POPULAR Card Members, there’s an extra layer of excitement. The first 100 members who spend a minimum of RM250 nett will receive a free foldable trolley worth RM109.90. This isn’t just any trolley—it’s practical for carrying all the books and goodies they pick up during the festival. Considering how easy it is to accumulate stacks of books during such an event, this thoughtful gift ensures that participants can move around comfortably without having to worry about multiple trips.
But BookFest Malaysia isn’t solely about books. On 18 and 19 March, attendees can also enjoy special RM1 deals on selected stationery, gadgets, and IT items. From pens, notebooks, and planners to headphones and tech accessories, these RM1 items offer exceptional value. Imagine getting quality stationery or essential gadgets for just RM1—it’s a fun and budget-friendly way to grab a few extras while exploring the festival. This kind of deal also adds an element of thrill, as visitors try to hunt down the RM1 items before they run out.

The festival also serves as a platform for families. Parents can introduce their children to the joys of reading in a fun, interactive environment. With diverse genres and activities tailored for young readers, children can develop an early love for books while enjoying a lively and engaging festival atmosphere. For adults, it’s an escape into worlds of imagination, knowledge, and creativity—a chance to unwind while still doing something productive.
