Land of Poets: International Festival in Lviv
This fall, November 7–8, 2026, in Lviv, at !FESTrepublic (24/26 Staroznesenska St.), the third edition of the International Festival "Land of Poets" will take place in the author's concept of Maryana Savka. For two days, a separate territory of poetry will appear: four stages, hundreds of voices, unexpected encounters and formats in which the word goes far beyond its own form.
The main theme of the 2026 festival is “Ukrainian Titans: New Mythmaking.” Attendees will find themselves at the epicenter of the creation of a modern Ukrainian myth, where archaic and digital technologies, lyrics and logic, poetry and binary code, veteran theater and live music, classics and modernity, tradition and innovation will meet.
A variety of genres and performers. "Land of Poets" will bring together stars of poetry, music, and theater - of different generations and schools. Among the poets and artists who will be heard at the festival are TOP names of Ukraine: Yuriy Izdryk, Yuriy Andrukhovych, Oleksandr Irvanets, Kateryna Kalytko, Artur Dron, Yevhen Nyshchuk, Rimma Zyubina, Rostyslav Semkiv, Olga Olkhova, Maryna Ponomarenko, Pavlo Vyshebaba, Pavlo Matyusha, Yuriy Matevoshchuk, Maryana Savka, Halyna Kruk, Yulia Musakovska, Marianna Kiyanovska and others.
Also, famous foreign poets will arrive in Lviv: Carolyn Forsche (USA), Lina Ekdahl (Sweden), Krzysztof Czyzewski (Poland) and authors from Estonia, Croatia, and Lithuania.
The festival's musical scene will be created by: Oleksandr Polozhynskyi, the vocal formation "Pikkardian Tertsia", Solomiya Chubay, the cultural and artistic project "Broken Rhymes", as well as the male choir "Dudaryk".
The mission of "Land of Poets" remains unchanged: to awaken national identity through the power of the Ukrainian word. After all, poetry is one of the ways to program the future.
