LIT.festival 2026

In the page's words:

Our second LIT.festival will take place in Düsseldorf in 2026!

From July 3 to 7, 2025, we celebrated our very first literature festival with you - five days full of books, encounters and special moments. Readings at extraordinary locations in Düsseldorf, plus an unforgettable community day in the Bilker Bunker - that was our starting signal.

Our motto: all LIT up - women first.
What initially came about by chance quickly became a matter of the heart: the debut of our LIT.festival was all about women authors. A kick-off that celebrated literature and women - and a festival that shone. ✨

Let's celebrate literature together! With our Bookshop, we are committed to books and reading every day: through inspiring events, our hybrid book club and monthly reading parties. Now we are adding a new project: the LIT.festival Düsseldorf - a literary festival for everyone!

Thanks to our LIT.festival community! 🩷
Your support - especially through the supporter vouchers - has given us so much tailwind. A huge thank you for that!

With over 900 guests, the LIT.festival was not only a wonderful experience, but also a complete success right from the start. We are overwhelmed and are already looking forward to what is to come.
