The Jaipur Literature Festival, held annually in the historic Pink City of Jaipur in India’s vibrant state of Rajasthan, is hailed worldwide as the ‘greatest literary show on Earth’. In February 2025, the 18th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival reaffirmed the power of books and ideas through a remarkable line-up of speakers and sessions. The Festival’s indomitable energy and spirit travels across the world, in its international JLF editions, to several countries that include the US, UK, Spain, the Maldives, Australia and the Middle-East, and seamlessly merge the rich multilingual literary traditions of South Asia with the unique essence of the host regions.

In the US, JLF makes its way to New York; Houston; Boulder, Colorado; Seattle; and North Carolina, bringing together unique offerings of literature, geopolitics, art and music with inspirational writers and thinkers. Through the Covid years, virtual versions of JLF kept the spirit of creative conversations alive with writers, thinkers, poets, artists, and filmmakers engaged in insightful discourse. 

Experience the electric energy of the Jaipur Festival, as it makes its grand return to Boulder, Colorado, this year. The 11th edition of JLF Colorado will take place at the Boulder Public Library, from September 12th - 13th, 2025.

In 2024, we successfully held another onground edition of JLF Colorado in collaboration with the Boulder Public Library and the City of Boulder.

This year, we celebrate the beauty of the Rockies and prairies, as well as the vibrant energy, excitement, and intellect of Boulder. At JLF Colorado 2025, we once again bring our hallmark camaraderie, a caravan of ideas, and the enchanting flow of conversations that make our festival truly incredible!
