Lucknow Lit Fest

The Lucknow Literary Festival (LLF), an initiative by the LUCKNOW Society, is a vibrant celebration of literature and culture in India. Founded by Shamim A. Aarzoo, this unique festival is remarkably driven by a passionate team of youth, averaging just 24 years of age. The festival aims to honor the rich literary traditions of Lucknow, while simultaneously spotlighting emerging talents and paying tribute to iconic literary figures.

LLF serves as a platform that brings together diverse literary voices from English, Hindi, and Urdu literature, while also exploring the intricate relationship between literature and culture through various engaging sessions. In addition to literary discussions, the festival is a bustling hub of artistic expression, featuring cinema, history, and cultural performances that reflect the city’s heritage.

With its mission to revive and promote Lucknow's 'Tehzeeb,' the festival invites authors, speakers, and performers to collaborate and share their work, ensuring that the art of storytelling continues to thrive for generations to come.
