2025 Festival
Our next Literary Festival will take place April 3 – 5, 2025.
The Sidney and Peninsula Literary Society celebrates the written word. We showcase established and emerging authors and provide regular opportunities for readers and writers to connect. We organize readings throughout the year and sponsor a biennial literary festival. Anyone who enjoys the written word is invited to become a member of the Society.

We respectfully acknowledge that the Sidney LitFest and our other events are held on the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories of the SET,TINES – WSÁNEĆ people.
