Mumbai Literature Festival returns to NCPA from October 23 to 25

Mumbai Literature Festival will return to the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Nariman Point from October 23 to 25 for its 17th edition.

The three-day programme, also known as Mumbai LitFest, is set to cover literature alongside cinema, medicine, history, economics, arts, sports, technology, the environment and the digital ecosystem. The annual event has been held in the city since 2010, bringing authors, poets, journalists and other speakers into conversation with readers.

Registration is free. Attendees must create and log into a Literature Lover! account, browse the schedule and book the sessions they wish to attend. The festival advises leaving at least 30 minutes between consecutive bookings.

Confirmed bookings generate a QR code, while an M-badge is sent by email or WhatsApp. Visitors can then collect a physical badge from the festival desk at NCPA; it will be valid across all three days. Session-wise schedules and venue updates will be posted through the festival’s official channels.
