Hyderabad Literary Festival

Hyderabad Literary Festival (HLF) is an annual event that celebrates creativity in all its forms. HLF is a multidisciplinary, multilingual event that draws over a hundred writers, artistes, academics, scholars, publishers from India and abroad each year.

Started in 2010, the Festival has emerged as an important event in the cultural calendar of the country. It represents the rich and cosmopolitan ethos of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, as well as the vibrant spirit of the modern Cyberabad.

The Festival is FREE and open to ALL HLF 2024

HLF 2024 is organised by “Hyderabad Literary Trust”, a non-profit organisation, with the support of several literary and cultural organisations, and publishing houses. After two wonderful editions at the Vidyaranya High School, HLF 2024 moves to a new venue: Sattva Knowledge City, HITEC City.
