Preggio Festival 2026

Website Launch & Festival Announcement

We are delighted to announce that preggiofestival.com is now live.

With the launch of our website, we officially introduce the first edition of Preggio Festival 2026.

On 21–22 August 2026, the hilltop village of Preggio, in the heart of Umbria, will host a new Italian–Austrian festival dedicated to literature, theatre, and film.

Over two summer days, writers, performers, filmmakers, and audiences will gather in an intimate setting to share readings, performances, screenings, and conversations that explore contemporary voices across languages and borders.

  • Preggio Festival is conceived as a space of encounter –
    between countries,
    between artistic disciplines,
    between people.
  • With today’s website launch, this journey begins.

Information about the programme, participating artists, and event venues can be found in the Events and Programme section of this website.

In the coming months, we will publish further updates here on the progress and development of the festival.

We look forward to welcoming you to Preggio on 21–22 August 2026.

Please support our literature festival in Umbria!

We bring authors, books and culture to a place brimming with inspiration.
By supporting the artists, the infrastructure (such as the stage and technical equipment) and the many volunteers, you are helping to make this project a reality.
Every contribution counts – help us establish the festival as a regular summer event in Preggio!

Help keep Preggio alive.

Grazie! Danke! Thank you!
