Ypsalon 2025 | literárny festival

The eleventh year of the literary festival in Trnava - Ypsalon 2025 will soon take place. 🍂

Four literary evenings full of talks and discussions with Slovak and foreign authors await you. Each day of the festival will bring a theme that connects the entire evening.

We will open the eleventh year with the sensitivity of the perception of the world, in the following days we will look below the surface of what surrounds us, we will explore world-making - the ability to create our own and shared worlds - and we will also touch on the fragility of memory, which preserves our stories. Immerse yourself in fiction, poetry and non-fiction with us, get to know new voices as well as your favorite authors.

Spend pleasant moments with us at the festival, experience conversations with guests, taste drinks inspired by literature or buy a book in your favorite festival bookstore.
