From workshops & talks to the beloved street festival featuring author readings and panel discussions, this year’s event has something for story lovers of all ages. The Eden Mills Writers’ Festival celebrates the power of words – whether written, spoken or signed – to ignite our imaginations and reveal worlds and ideas beyond our own experience.

By presenting literary works that reflect a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we hope to engender an informed and articulate community that connects with open hearts and open minds.

John Sleeman & Sons will be sampling on September 19, 2026, and we hope to see you there, too!
