The Dingle Literary Festival was established in 2019 as a community based non-profit festival that strives to bring the joy of reading and writing to as many people of all ages as possible. The festival is the idea of an enthusiastic volunteer group of book lovers on the Dingle Peninsula.

The Dingle Literary Festival brings together readers of all interests with writers of local, national and international standing. The festival inspires readers to read and writers to write. Events happen, in both Irish and English, across Chorca Dhuibhne, an established creative landscape on the Wild Atlantic Way. The festival includes writers workshops so emerging writers can hone their skills and activities aimed at children, the readers and writers of the future.
