The Santa Fe International Literary Festival will take place May 16–18, 2025, bringing together world-renowned authors, thinkers, and passionate readers to celebrate the power of story in a city known throughout the world for its beauty, history, and artistic inspiration.
The three-day festival features big-stage presentations, intimate talks, and curated excursions. In all, more than thirty Festival events will take place over the weekend at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, in Santa Fe’s historic downtown.
Rich in cultural diversity and creativity, including a literary tradition that stretches back centuries, the beautiful, maverick city of Santa Fe is a perfect host for the Festival. At this time of extraordinary upheaval, authors and readers from around the world and close to home come together for three remarkable days to explore a range of issues—in politics, justice, race, the environment, and much more.
