CS Lewis Jubilee Festival | Celebrating the Legacy of C.S. Lewis

The CS Lewis Jubilee Festival is more than just a cultural event—it is a living tribute to the imagination, faith, and timeless literary legacy of one of the most beloved authors of the 20th century.

Lewis left behind a profound influence that continues to inspire readers, thinkers, and dreamers. The festival honors his memory by bringing together literature, art, music, and dialogue in a unique celebration of creativity and community.

Honoring a Timeless Legacy

C.S. Lewis’s writings bridge the gap between fantasy and faith, philosophy and imagination. The Jubilee Festival highlights this dual heritage by curating events that explore his impact on both literature and theology.
