Abstract: This study focuses on the importance of digital technology for literary festivals, examining the international dimension of these events, which has been significantly enhanced in recent years. Literary festivals have evolved into international platforms for the interaction of writers and readers from different corners of the world, offering unique opportunities for the dissemination of literature and poetry. The digital transition and the integration of new technologies have led to the creation of hybrid festivals, combining the physical and digital worlds. This allows people from different countries to participate and interact, overcoming geographical limitations and promoting international cooperation. Furthermore, sustainability and social responsibility are fundamental elements for contemporary literary festivals, which adopt practices that enhance sustainable development and social inclusion. The connection between literature and the new technologies and social challenges of today offers new perspectives for understanding and promoting literature. The festivals incorporate educational activities and interactive programmes that encourage young people's participation, fostering their love of literature and enhancing their understanding of cultural heritage in a contemporary context.
