Get ready for Banglore Literature Festival 2020!

The Bangalore Literature Festival celebrates the creative spirit of Bengaluru and commemorates the literary diversity it offers, bringing it into conversation with the best minds in the world of literature

The Banglore Literature Festival is going to be organized on December 12-13, but unlike previous years, the event will allow small gatherings this year. The 2020- edition of the Bangalore Literature Festival is a two-day literary extravaganza that will bring together some of the biggest names in literature - within and outside India.

The objective of the Bangalore Literature Festival is to put together a literary experience that brings writers – both established and aspiring, readers, publishers, students and young professionals and other stakeholders of the city together on a common platform and create a compelling space for engaging and thought-provoking discussions on literature and life.

The festival will be organized at the Bangalore International Centre in Domlur. It will also stream live without a break, given the current pandemic. To avoid any last-minute crowd, the organizers of the festival have started registration. And, people who wish to join it will have to inform the organizers in advance.
