Welcome to the Hay Festival in Colombia

Welcome to our third festival in Cartagena, gathering writers from across the world in the most beautiful city in the Caribbean. It’s the perfect place to celebrate ideas, to share stories, and to talk about love and death and politics and religion and wars and families and all the stuff of life– in theatres, in bars, and in the street, over breakfast and late into the hot night.

Please come and join us to enjoy voices from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North America together with the greatest stars of Hispanic-American literature from every generation.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has invested their imagination, their time and their money to throw this party. Thank you for making it happen.

It’s a rich gift.
