Galle Literary Festival 2026
Original Article – Holiday Architects
“If you can time your visit to Sri Lanka to coincide with the Galle Literary Festival, I’d hugely recommend it! Galle always has a lovely buzz about it – it’s one of my favourite spots in Sri Lanka for that reason – but it really comes to life on another level over the festival. Stroll down the cobblestone streets filled with authors, poets and great thinkers from all around the world. Listen to readings, join in discussions, and even share a cup of Sri Lankan tea with your favourite author if you’re lucky! The event gets better every single year and the talks are always brilliant.”
