Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival

The Blue Metropolis Festival is one of the largest multilingual literary events in North America. Each year, writers from Quebec, Canada and around the world converge on Montreal for a couple of days. Festivalgoers are treated to live interviews, roundtable discussions, public readings, debates, master classes, reading and writing workshops. Every year, the Festival is structured around several strong themes that bear testimony to a keen social awareness and to a passion for literature in all its richness.
In 2023, Blue Metropolis turns 25.
The anniversary edition of the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival will take place April 27 to 30, 2023, in Montreal (in-person program). The online program will premiere April 22 to 27, 2023.
In addition to our usual program, part of our programming will be dedicated to this 25th anniversary.
