Dates announced for Byron Writers Festival 2025

Join us for Byron Writers Festival 2025 at the picturesque Bangalow Showground. Nestled on Bundjalung Country in the Byron Shire hinterland, we are thrilled to have this beautiful location host the festival once more. Beneath towering gum trees, discover new perspectives, connect with likeminded individuals, and be inspired by the world’s best writers and thinkers. Through open conversations and diverse perspectives, Byron Writers Festival explores the stories that shape our world.

“Festivals are vital sites of civic discourse. We are honoured to continue this tradition and present a joyous celebration of books and literary culture in the Northern Rivers.”

—Jessica Alice, Artistic Director
