Delhi Poetry Festival has always evolved with the city and the times it inhabits.

As we moved closer to the next edition, we realised this was a moment not just to wait, but to reimagine. To step back, rethink the format, and shape what comes next with greater freedom and intent.

Rather than rush, we’re taking the time to rework the festival experience — so when it returns, it does so with renewed energy and a format that feels true to where the cultural conversation is today.

The journey continues through DPF Children LitFest and SheScapes scheduled already later in 2026, with new ideas and collaborations taking shape across the year.

We look forward to gathering again very soon. With clarity, confidence, and a festival that surprises in all the right ways.
