Join us on beautiful Bowen Island this summer.

We'll be hosting a panel luncheon plus the Festival Gala on Saturday night, with a number of stellar presenters and live performances. The festival is set at the Cove Commons on idyllic Bowen Island, with workshops held at the Library Annex and Copper Spirit Distillery, in Snug Cove.
