Founded in 1994, the Minsk International Book Fair has gained a reputation as one of the largest forums held in the capital. The five-day annual event held in February is a fine showcase for the national book publishing industry and fosters better relations between book publishers from the neighbouring countries and distant foreign countries. It is not just an important marketplace but a significant cultural and social event that attracts both professionals and general public. The programme of the exhibition includes seminars, roundtables, book presentations, meetings with authors, publishers and artists. Each year the number of participants grows and new ideas are added. In 2006, a guest of honour status was introduced. In 2019, 13 Minsk cafes invited readers to try dishes described in bestsellers by outstanding Belarusian and foreign writers. In 2020, the Fair featured about 400 exhibitors from more than 30 countries who gathered to discuss the main trends of the contemporary book market. More than 60, 000 people visited the exhibition hall at 14 Pobediteley Avenue. Some were attracted by literary quests and master classes, others by the chance to try their hand at recording audiobooks or get an autograph of a favourite writer.

The Minsk International Film Festival Listapad takes a special place in the contemporary culture of Belarus and not only. In 2003, it was officially recognised as an international festival. Ten years later, it gained a new status and made it onto the list of the world's most prestigious film forums that bring together famous filmmakers, actors and cinema fans. The festival, which takes place every November, was created in 1994 to foster intercultural dialogue between post-Soviet states. At first, the majority of films were made by Russian directors but between 1996 and 2008 45 countries joined the Festival as directors, producers, jury and press. The festival and its programme have changed over the years. In 2007 the Documentary Film Competition was introduced and the next year the Children and Youth Films Competition Listapadzik was started. In 2019, a total of 154 films from 50 countries participated in the festival. During the week more than 200 screenings took place at 6 venues and about 20,000 people attended them. The festival also holds various workshops, discussions and exhibitions to provide an opportunity to learn from famous cinema experts and to discuss important problems related to the contemporary cinematography.

The Yuri Bashmet International Music Festival is one of the largest cultural forums. It has been part of the Belarusian music scene since 2006 and is held every autumn for two weeks. The message of the festival is promotion of classical art and fostering international cultural cooperation. It has gained a reputation because it features great contemporary musicians and gives beginners a chance to showcase their talent and establish contacts. Part of the festival is the annual CIS Youth Academy that offers master classes, one-to-one lessons and meetings with maestros. The festival that never stops to surprise has also introduced Belarusian audience to crossover projects – joint work of artists belonging to different styles or genres such as Music and Circus, Classics Meets Rock, Music and Painting. The concert Night in the Metro stands out both by the venue and time. It took place under the "starry sky" of the underground station of Petrovshchina and started at 2 a.m. The idea of a concert combining a live performance of an orchestra, a laser light show, and a fashion show was introduced in 2018 and it was such a success that it became traditional.
