The story

Festival de Poesia de Venezuela in Caracas/nationwide

The Festival Mundial de Poesia de Venezuela is a long-running international gathering that in 2025 reached its nineteenth edition, bringing more than 40 poets from four continents plus a delegation from Palestine to Caracas for a week of recitals, workshops, and readings held in more than 100 activities across twenty states.

Each July, Caracas becomes the center of one of the more substantial poetry gatherings in Latin America, when the Festival Mundial de Poesia de Venezuela brings together poets from across the world for a week of readings, workshops, and public conversations.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few poetry festivals of this scale operate anywhere in the region: the nineteenth edition alone drew more than 150 national poets alongside 40-plus international guests representing the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with nine poets specifically from Palestine, which was named the festival's guest country of honor that year as an explicit act of solidarity

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival deliberately decentralizes its programming, running six or more nocturnal recitals at Caracas's Teatro Bolivar while also spreading more than 100 workshops, conversations, and book presentations into libraries, high schools, historic houses, and universities across twenty of Venezuela's states, rather than confining the event to the capital alone
