In February 2024, the 17th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival took place in the Pink City of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Now you can experience the energy of the Jaipur Festival as it makes its debut in Seattle this year. Spanning over two days, with presentations from literary greats, food vendors, and artists, this literary festival is not to be missed!

JLF International takes place across several countries including the US, UK, Spain, the Maldives, Australia, and the Middle East, merging the multilingual literary traditions of South Asia.

Tickets are $15 for partial-day sessions, or $30 for the full festival. Town Hall Members receive a 20% discount on festival passes (no other discounts are applicable).
