More than a festival, it’s a love letter to our stories.

Con Amor is about creating a literary home.

A Place where readers see themselves reflected.

Where stories are spoken in multiple languages.

Where culture and creativity are celebrated loudly.

Where independent creators are valued.

Where books become bridges between people.

We are building something rooted in love, storytelling, and community, and we hope you’ll be part of it.

Literature is a memory, resistance, joy, identity, language, grief, romance, and home.
