The festival is a celebration of reading, writing, sharing stories and indulging the mind.

Across three days, the spectacular Tathra headland serves as a backdrop to author in-conversations, panel discussions, workshops, poetry, exhibitions, theatre and music performances.

Visitors move between the Tathra Hall, Tathra Uniting Church and Tathra Hotel to catch the varied program of ticketed and free events.

With the whale migration season in full swing, you can witness spectacular scenes of whale tails to go with your literary tales.

The festival is a chance to connect with a regional community and share ideas and perspectives from around the world.
