Byron Writers Festival is Australia's favourite regional meeting place of storytelling and ideas. We present world-class gatherings that enrich and transform the lives of our audiences and community. Our annual festival takes place in August on Bundjalung Country. We showcase writers from around the world, representing all aspects of contemporary literature, especially First Nations writing and ways of knowing, environment, politics, philosophy, art, history and society. Established in 1995, the festival and our year-round programs attract tens of thousands of audiences annually to develop and promote literature from and in the region.
