The Castro Alves Literary Fair, known as Flipo, will occur in the interior of Bahia from March 12 to 15, 2026. This will be the sixth edition of the event, which focuses on literature, audiovisual content, and musical performances, and is free for the public. The programming will include literary panels featuring authors and filmmakers, film screenings, children's activities through Flipoquinha, and discussions on digital culture involving youth. A solidarity economy fair, cultural walks, and various artistic performances are also on the agenda.

This year's theme, "A camera in hand, a book in the head: literature as revolution," honors Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha, celebrated for his influential works such as 'Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol' (1964) and 'Terra em Transe' (1967). The festival aims to engage the community in cultural discussions and promote the importance of literature and film in the social landscape. The inclusion of musical shows by prominent artists like Alexandre Pires and Mumuzinho adds to the festival's appeal, drawing larger audiences and enhancing the cultural experience.

The Castro Alves Literary Fair not only celebrates literature and film but also focuses on community involvement and education through various artistic and cultural initiatives. By providing a platform for discussions and artistic expressions, the fair seeks to contribute to the local cultural identity and promote the exchange of ideas among different generations, highlighting the power of storytelling and art in social change.
