Join Canada’s longest running summer gathering of Canadian writers and readers, featuring established literary stars and exciting, new voices… with opportunities for writers and readers to mingle amidst Rockwood’s heritage gardens.
The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts is honoured and grateful to carry out its work in the shíshálh swiya, the unceded and traditional homelands of the shíshálh People. We strive to be respectful allies through both word and action.
The SCFWA was founded in 1983 by Betty Keller and members of the SunCoast Writers Forge. The SCFWA holds true to the vision of its founders: to produce an annual literary festival featuring Canadian writers exclusively.
Join us for our 44th annual festival, August 13-16, 2026
