Chicago Indian Literature Festival

Event Date: May 30, 2026 (9:30AM)

This year, we are excited to launch our flagship initiative: the Chicago Indian Literature Festival on May 30th, Downtown Chicago and expecting 500+ people to join us.

The festival is envisioned as a vibrant, inclusive gathering that brings together authors, poets, thinkers, journalists, translators, publishers, and readers to explore Indian literature in all its diversity - across languages, regions, and the diaspora. Beyond books, the festival will explore ideas: identity, migration, history, social change, and the future of storytelling. A landmark event showcasing India's rich storytelling traditions with renowned authors, poets, and thought leaders from around the world.
