ABOUT LITERACYFEST 2027

Literacy is life.

This is the simple but powerful idea behind LiteracyFest, a new, two-day event brought to you by the International Literacy Association (ILA). Part community festival, part professional learning experience, LiteracyFest aims to change the way we think about literacy, where it lives, and the role we all play in making it accessible to everyone.
