A vibrant and inspiring literary festival in one of Ireland's most scenic locations, Dingle Lit features the best of contemporary English-language and Irish-language writers, workshops for aspiring authors and plenty of fun free events for kids too.
Dingle Lit is a unique bilingual festival, in taking place in the heart of the West Kerry Gaeltacht. It was conceived in 2019 with a twofold mission: to bring some of the best of contemporary writers in English to our local audience, and to celebrate the rich literary and cultural heritage of the Irish language. Among the guests in previous years, we have been delighted to welcome President Michael D Higgins, Claire Keegan, Anne Enright, John Banville, Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Barry, and many more.
Dingle Lit’s vision is of a festival where literature, language and landscape converge to create moments to share stories, spark discussion, foster innovation and collaboration in the arts and creates a multigenerational community of readers.
