Every year, Solothurn becomes a hub for multilingual literature, bringing literary professionals and literature lovers from Switzerland and abroad together in one place. Booklovers, get ready!

A multilingual festival to celebrate literature

The 47th edition of the Solothurn Literary Days takes place on May 30 - June 1 with more than 140 events taking place throughout the city. Readings and talks by 74 invited authors will be the focal point of the festival and will be accompanied by award ceremonies, a family programme and roundtable discussions around current issues. 

The festival celebrates literature in all its forms ranging from entertainment to profound reflections. You could discover your new favourite author as you get to explore new publications in the fields of prose, poetry, youth and children’s literature, spoken word, graphic novels and translations. 

This year, the Solothurn Literary Days will again host the presentation of the Swiss Literature Prize, Swiss Children’s Book Prize and the Literary Prize of the city of Solothurn.

Literary days for schools

Along with the Literary Days in Solothurn, there is also a related event for children so they can fall in love with literature too. The Literary Days for Children and Youth (JuKiLi) allows authors and illustrators to present their new publications to school classes with readings and workshops for students to grow their interest in the written word.

Attend the Solothurn Literary Days
