The origins of this cultural and social event are somewhat confusing, because there is no known exact date for their first celebration in the park. However, other aspects related to the context, in which the book fair takes place, are in the public domain, such as the background to the celebration of the day of the book in Spain and in the international arena.

In the case of Spain, the initiative to dedicate a special day to the book, reading and readers dates back to 1926, specifically to October 7, in tribute to the birth of Miguel de Cervantes, although later it will be confirmed that This date was wrong, since I was born on September 29, So officially and for the first time in Spain, the day of the book was declared as a national holiday. Various activities were organized in the aforementioned day, although they were developed more in academic and private fields, that is, in solemn sessions in the Academies, Paraninfos of the Universities and Institutes and less solemn in the various State schools and other public establishments, which consist in the realization of speeches, conferences, explanations of teachers, as well as distribution and purchase of books. For this reason, specific objectives and intentions are defined for that day, encouraging reading and honoring the book and starting in 1926, it will be held every year, giving rise to the establishment of a fair around the bibliographic theme, as well as an increase initiatives to create public or popular libraries, in cities and schools.

In short, the celebration of Book Day is an event that has lasted in the Spanish population for almost a century, forming part of the cultural tradition. As for the celebration of the book fair in the Garc Park in Sanabria, although it is not possible to secure and know an exact date, an approximate date can be obtained, since since the 30s book fairs were organized in the Plaza de la Candelaria and Plaza de Espa a, apparently the first one held in the park in 1988. On the other hand, although the day of the book is April 23 has not coincided regularly with the realization of the fair, since it fluctuates between mid-late April and the month of May.

Currently, the 28th edition of the book fair will be held in the park, from May 26 to May 30, 2016, which consists of offering various activities related to literature and the placement of tents along of the main walks.
