The Rivne Literary Forum is a two-day cultural event held annually in mid-June in Rivne’s Swan Park (Лебединка). Established in 2025, it brings together Ukrainian authors, publishers, illustrators, and readers for book presentations, author talks, and a book fair. This festival celebrates local and national literature, fostering a community of readers and writers in the region.
Ukraine has a rich literary tradition and a strong community of readers. The Rivne Literary Forum arises from this context, providing a platform in Rivne to connect local residents with contemporary Ukrainian literature and publishing. It reflects the city’s cultural emphasis on education and literacy, and supports Ukraine’s broader literary revival following the war.
