Gen-Z Embraces Chennai Book Fair Tradition
3.0
Relevance Score
Gen-Z readers flock to the 49th Chennai Book Fair in January 2026 at YMCA Nandanam, which hosts nearly 1,000 stalls including 428 Tamil and 256 English vendors. Visitors cite tactile browsing, discounts and serendipitous discovery of titles unavailable online, making the fair a continuing annual ritual and community 'third space' despite digital reading trends.
Why This Matters
Local event reporting provides cultural insight and attendee perspectives, but it offers limited novelty and narrow geographic relevance.
