Creators' Gala

The CLF Creators Gala: Authors’ Charity Ball is an evening dedicated to celebrating artistic and cultural excellence, bringing together leading voices from literature, the arts, business, and the global diaspora. As the opening night of the festival, it sets the tone for CLF 2026, honouring the idea of a “living bridge” that connects cultures, ideas, and creative communities across borders.

The Gala also marks the India@CLF Partner Country inaugural evening, formally celebrating the Canada-India cultural partnership. Featuring distinguished recognitions and attended by invited guests from across sectors and geographies, it is a rare moment where the full CLF constellation gathers, an intimate space where stories, influence, and global perspectives come together.
