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.

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 writers from Canada exclusively.

Join us for the 43rd annual Festival of Written Arts, August 14-17, 2025!
