Each year Galle Fort comes alive during the globally famed Galle Literary Festival.
There is an unmistakable buzz around town, a trail of visitors hastily checking their schedules to get to the next talk, poetry reading, gallery viewing or performance. Dining tables across the Fort are filled with foodies enjoying chef led and wine paired lunch and dinners. Volunteers are on every street corner in their signature GLF t–shirts ready to guide eager attendees to their next destination. The festival market is bustling with happy shoppers gathering their haul from the curated selection of trinkets, art and designer fashion. The atmosphere is one for the books.
