About JLF Colorado
JLF Colorado returned for its 10th edition!
We bore witness to an exhilarating journey into the world of literature, as JLF Colorado returned with more than 50 incredible speakers. From September 14 to 15, Boulder, Colorado experienced the vibrant energy of the Jaipur Literature Festival, famously hailed as "the greatest literary show on Earth".
JLF Colorado, with a mission to support and promote literature in all its forms, and ensure equitable access to a diverse mix of world-class authors, poets, writers, artists, thinkers, filmmakers, humanitarians, politicians, business leaders, sports figures and entertainers, engaged in many thoughtful debates and dialogues, captivating hearts and minds. Their expertise and passion spanned topics from international, and North American, to regional issues.
With each year, we have crafted and curated equitable platforms for dialogue, creating safe environs for writers and artists to express themselves. These fundamental precepts are vital for sustaining progressive societies, and are at the core of democracy.
On September 14 & 15, at the Boulder Public Library, this cultural caravan proceeded to engage in riveting and insightful discussions about important topics, in one of the world’s most beautiful and inspiring locations.
Displaying a strong commitment to partnerships, together with the Boulder Public Library, and in conjunction with our supportive donors and our sponsors, JLF Colorado created a free-to-attend festival of ideas, imagination, innovation, and inspiration for our audience and attendees.
Inspired by a visit to the Jaipur Literature Festival in Jaipur, India, JLF Colorado brought the spirit of this amazing festival to life in Boulder.
The festival proved to be a personally transformative event, opening a window to other worlds, and allowing us to appreciate and understand different cultures, histories, traditions, economies, and ways of life, pushing back against hatred, and the fear of the unknown.
