Blr Lit Fest | 11-13 Dec 2026 | 15th Edition

Bengaluru’s very own celebration of books, ideas, and stories, the Bangalore Literature Festival has been bringing together readers, writers, and the endlessly curious since 2012. Free and open to all, we have grown to become one of India’s most loved lit fests—and the country’s largest community/citizen-funded one at that! Literature sessions that make you rethink the world, C|L|F spaces for children, arts and culture performances, LitMart and ScreenLit for budding authors and screenwriters, a buzzing bookstore, book prizes and so much more. Now gearing up for a milestone 15th edition on December 11, 12 and 13, 2026 at Freedom Park, the festival promises yet another unforgettable weekend where Bengaluru comes alive with words.
