The 27th International Literature Festival Dublin (ILFD), will be held from 16 to 25 May 2025 in the heart of this most literary city.
Where else in the world could be more appropriate for a top-notch literature festival than Dublin? This is the city where the ghosts of great writers and playwrights lurk on every street – Wilde, Joyce, the four Nobel Literature laureates Yeats, Shaw, Beckett and Heaney. And in the splendid Museum of Modern Literature, the city and the country’s storytelling heritage is laid out in loving detail.
28th International Literature Festival Dublin
So, the 28th International Literature Festival Dublin, based in the lovely park which adorns the elegant Georgian-influenced Merrion Square in the heart of the city, stands on the shoulders of so many literary giants – some of whom are paid homage in a sparkling programme running from 16-25 May. With more than 230 events, of which more than 35 are dedicated to families and children, the festival presents an eclectic array of authors, speakers, artists, and performers from over 25 countries, featuring notables such as Richard E. Grant, Marilynne Robinson, Marian Keyes, Seanchoíche, Amor Towles and Liz Pichon.
Join Rebecca Solnit and Roxane Gay for a powerful discussion on feminism and politics, experience an intimate musical session with Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch, delve into the future of our planet with environmental expert Colin Butfield, or uncover how books can soothe anxiety with author Daisy Buchanan.
