The theme of 2026’s festival, Writing the Future, is more than a slogan. It’s a call to action—a challenge for all of us as stewards of this festival and as members of a community navigating extraordinary times. More information on the festival will be released in the coming months.
We're seeking volunteers, booksellers, and sponsors!
