SUMMARY:Save the date! Queenscliffe Literary Festival
DESCRIPTION:For more than 10 years\, we’ve brought Australia’s finest writers\, thinkers\, and storytellers to the Bellarine Peninsula. What began as a single weekend of events has grown into a rich\, year-round program that engages our community in every season. \nEach year\, the Queenscliffe Literary Festival delivers: \n\nA Schools Program that reaches over 500 young people across every childcare\, kindergarten and primary school in the Borough of Queenscliffe\, connecting kids with authors and poets who bring stories to life\nPop-up events that take literature out into the community throughout the year\nThe Penned Micro-Fiction Writing Competition\, nurturing short-form storytelling from all across the country\nA Program Launch that kicks off in style and engages local businesses\, organisations\, and partners\nA full two-weekend festival in October\, featuring award-winning Australian authors\, thinkers and performers in sessions that spark conversation and delight audiences of all ages\n\nWe believe that great literature shouldn’t be reserved for big cities. Stories have the power to build empathy\, spark curiosity\, and bring a community together\, and that’s exactly what we do\, in one of Victoria’s most beloved coastal towns. In Queenscliffe\, we are proud to be one of the municipality’s premier cultural events. \nWe are a volunteer-run\, not-for-profit festival\, and every year we grow\, reaching more readers\, students\, and community members\, to share more stories and ideas that\, in an increasingly disconnected and fragile world\, need to be told.
