Dehradun Literature Festival is an annual celebration of literature, culture and art in the picturesque city of Dehradun, made luminous by its enviable literary, educational and natural heritage. The festival brings together authors, poets, readers, critics, journalists, cultural icons, and artists from diverse domains. It aims to foster a love of the written word while encouraging discussions on relevant topics of the day.
 

It envisions a literary and intellectual exchange between literary enthusiasts in the Doon Valley and notable veterans in literature, art, and culture. With Dehradun Literature Festival 2026, we are entering our 8th edition and celebrating the legacy of all those who continue to leave an indelible mark on our hearts with their work. With a range of engaging conversations, book discussions, musical evenings, theatre performances, and workshops, DDLF is ready to host speakers, performers, writers and attendees from across the world. 
 
Notably, it is one of the literature festivals in India that Condé Nast Traveller India covered in its January 2024 issue. Additionally, the festival’s visionary founder, Mr Samraant Virmani, was prominently featured in Forbes magazine, recognised for his transformative leadership and significant contributions to the literary landscape through the Dehradun Literature Festival.
