The More You Know
The 2024 Bendigo Writers Festival has once again captivated literature enthusiasts, kicking off with a sold-out Opening Gala that left attendees buzzing with excitement. From August 16th to 18th, the festival transforms Bendigo into a vibrant hub of literary celebration, bringing together a diverse array of writers, readers, and creative thinkers from around the globe.
The festival, established in 2012 and managed by Bendigo Venues and Events, offers something for everyone with its wide array of sessions—panel discussions, keynote speeches, workshops, and book launches. Notable names from the literary world grace the stages, sharing insights and sparking thought-provoking conversations.
But the festival isn’t just about famous faces; it’s also a platform for emerging voices to shine. This year, the new pop-up venue, the BIG TOP, located in the Dudley House garden, offers a free space for local authors, poets, and songwriters to engage with the public.
With a strong emphasis on promoting literacy and lifelong learning, the Bendigo Writers Festival is a beloved event for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re attending a session, strolling through the festival precinct, or enjoying free activities like “Creative Kids,” this festival promises to be an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss out on the remaining sessions—tickets are available for just $15, if not already sold out.
