Organized by ShoublackHaïti and Championbusiness, this fourth edition of the Roadtrip brought together dozens of people on the beach of Marquis Paradise, near Labadee, Haiti, for a day combining relaxation, entertainment and cultural immersion.
Livre en Folie, this annual event long awaited by literature enthusiasts in Haiti, will be held on Thursday, August 15, 2024 at the Caribe Convention Center hotel in Juvénat. Indeed, Le Nouvelliste, in collaboration with its usual partners, invites the Port-au-Prince public to come and celebrate, for the thirtieth time, the great intellectual wealth of Haitian writers and other thinkers, in this great annual book fair. This year, the entrance fee is set at 1,000 gourdes, which will be returned to you in the form of coupons, in order to be able to buy books once inside. Thirty years after the first edition, livre en folie has become a pillar of Haitian literary life and a highlight of the Haitian year. This year, it will take place in a particularly difficult context for the country, both economically and in terms of security, but will still have the merit of bringing together thousands of Haitians around the subject of the book.
