The Seventh Odisha State Book Festival will take place from December 6 to December 17, 2025, at the Unit-3 Exhibition Ground in Bhubaneswar. This event is organised by the Odia Language, Literature, and Culture Department.
This year, the festival will feature 550 stalls, with participation from nearly 250 publishers and booksellers, including six international publishing houses.
Two theme pavilions will be created: one dedicated to Odisha’s women freedom fighters and the other focused on the life of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The main entrance gate of the festival will be named after the eminent freedom fighter Maa Ramadevi, while the main stage will honour celebrated writer Ramakanta Rath, and the inner entrance gate will be named after poet Bhima Bhoi.
