About JLF Seattle
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 same exhilarating energy of the Jaipur Festival as it makes its return to Seattle this year. The second edition of JLF Seattle will take place at Seattle Asian Art Museum and Town Hall from September 19-21, 2025.
In 2025, at JLF Seattle, we celebrate the beauty of the seaport city of Seattle, which lies amid water bodies, mountain ranges, and stunning parklands, known for its seven hills, vibrant trade, and technology industries, genre defining musical history, and pervasive university culture. Our hallmark camaraderie, caravan of ideas, and the enchanting flow of conversations will make it a truly unparalleled literary festival.
