The International Literary Festival Prima Vista is the main event of Tartu as a UNESCO City of Literature. The festival features many readings, presentations, lectures, workshops, and family events, aiming to bring together writers and readers and introduce various forms of culture. Prima Vista is dedicated to literature, to the written and the spoken word, but the festival programme also includes concerts and film nights, exhibitions and other forms of art which have connections with literature.

Taking place in numerous places around the city and being open to different ideas and ways of cooperation, the festival has built a strong and growing network around it, collaborating with a number of institutions, organisations, and venues from educational and cultural institutions, bookshops, museums, cultural factories and community societies to cafés and shopping centres.
