Every year, we are excited to bring you a literary festival with vibrant panels and performances that promote the arts, engage the community in thought provoking conversations and provide employment for authors, production and hospitality workers.  Regional festivals are crucial to foster community and human connection. At a time when cultural funding is under threat, we need your support more than ever. We are deeply grateful to the wonderful contributors, well-wishers, volunteers and patrons who, together, create the magic of our Festival each year.
