Summer with a Book in Łeba. Reading Festival on the promenade

Łeba in summer is primarily associated with the beach, the sea, walks, ice cream, waffles, and holiday relaxation. But the city's seasonal calendar also offers plenty of cultural events that offer a more peaceful, inspiring atmosphere. One of these is the Summer with a Book – Reading Festival.

The event will take place from July 31st to August 2nd, 2026, on the promenade on Tadeusza Kościuszki Street in Łeba. It's an ideal location—right in the heart of the city's holiday life, close to walkers, tourists, and anyone who enjoys a spot of excitement while on vacation.

Author meetings, workshops and a book fair

The festival program is designed to appeal to both adult readers and young participants. Visitors will enjoy author meetings, workshops for children , and a book fair.

It's a great opportunity to meet famous authors, listen to literary conversations, buy something to read on the beach, or take the kids to creative activities. Because let's face it—a book on a seaside vacation is still one of humanity's greatest inventions. Especially when your phone battery starts begging for a charger.

A literary accent in the holiday center of Łeba

The Kościuszki Street promenade is one of Łeba's most recognizable spots. During the summer, it's packed with locals and tourists, making the reading festival a very open experience. You can plan ahead, or you can simply stumble upon the event while strolling.

For families with children, workshops for the youngest. It's a great way to show children that books don't have to be associated only with school desks, required reading, and the question "what did the author mean?". They can be the starting point for fun, conversation, imagination, and spending time together.
