The west’s largest annual literary festival is almost back in town for another year, this time celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The Williamstown Literary Festival a.k.a Willy Lit Fest, will stretch from Williamstown to the streets of Altona, Yarraville and Footscray as part of its widest-ranging program yet.
Established in 2003, the Willy Lit Fest has brought together readers, writers and book creatives of all sorts for an annual celebration of story-telling, author talks, panel discussions and writing workshops at a historic seaside setting.
The festival will be held at the Williamstown Town Hall from Friday, June 16 for three days only.
Events include panels, interviews, author talks, workshops for children, teenagers and adults, readings and storytelling.
Writers working in all genres including poetry, novels, non-fiction, crime, historical fiction, drama, adventure and sports contribute to a fabulous festival.
The program appeals to people of all ages and literary tastes.
The event is run by an honorary committee, supplemented by a band of willing helpers at festival time.
The Williamstown Literary Festival is supported by Hobsons Bay City Council through its Make It Happen Grants.
