ibnchannel.id – Big Bad Wolf (BBW) Books has officially returned to Bali with the same fiery spirit: “Change the World, One Book at a Time.” The launch of BBW Bali 2025 will take place at the South Beach Corridor, Discovery Mall Bali, from July 31st to August 10th, 2025.
The world’s largest international book market is free to attend. Ketut Sukadana, Acting Head of the Kuta District’s Economic and Development Section, officially opened BBW Bali 2025, indicating the local government’s strong support for the national literacy campaign as part of the worldwide reading revolution.
Andrew Yap, Founder of BBW Books, stated, “We are very proud to be back in Bali for the second time.”
Bali is a hub for culture, creativity, and reading, all of which go hand in hand. BBW is a global movement, and in Bali, we hope to bring together tourists, local communities, and the spirit of literacy in one place. BBW began with the simple notion that books should not be considered a luxury. They serve as a cultural bridge, and we believe that reading may inspire and entertain anyone.
This year, BBW Bali is presenting more than 1 million new books across various genres, with discounts of up to 90%. Children’s books, self-development books, fiction, and popular reference collections are available in English, as well as Indonesian. More than just a book bazaar, BBW Bali 2025 is part of a lifestyle of exploring the world through the pages of books.
Marthius Wandi Budianto, Director of BBW Indonesia, also stated, “BBW Bali 2025 is more than just a book bazaar; it’s a relaxed literacy trip and a celebration of creativity and imagination for all. BBW Indonesia is proud to return to Bali, an island beloved by the world. Through 1 million new books and a variety of engaging programs, BBW Bali 2025 aims to provide a fun and rewarding reading experience, where visitors can hunt and surf amidst a sea of books.”
The opening ceremony was lively and heartfelt. The opening ceremony was made even more special by a traditional Balinese dance performance and a fashion book show parade by children with special needs from the Association of Parents of Children with Down Syndrome in Bali. This collaboration symbolizes inclusivity and a spirit of learning that embraces all groups.
BBW is not only the largest book bazaar, but also a movement to provide quality books at affordable prices for all. From illustrated children’s books and board books to self-help books, fiction collections, and popular references from bestsellers and popular publishers, to hardcovers, everything can be found at BBW Bali 2025. Furthermore, visitors can also enjoy various special promotions, including super-saving UNBELIEVABLE Titles, Buy 4 Get 5, and an additional 5% discount for BCA customers.
BBW Bali 2025 is once again supported by PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), which is offering various attractive promotions for visitors throughout the event, including an additional 5% discount for BCA customers. This long-term partnership underscores our shared commitment to strengthening the reading culture in Indonesia.
Eka Putu Ananta, Head of the Bali Transaction Banking Functional Office, BCA, said, “At BCA, we believe that literacy is a long-term investment for the nation’s future. Through our support of BBW Bali 2025, we want to help provide wider access to quality books and encourage Indonesian families to make reading a part of their daily lifestyle.”
