Held in July, the Mildura Writers Festival presents four days of words, food and wine featuring Australian and international writers. 

Throughout the weekend invited guests and audience members intermingle freely sharing an experience that provides thoughtful and challenging ideas about writing and literature in general. Providing much needed cultural enrichment for remote and regional audiences, it's little wonder this inspiring Festival attracts return visitors year after year. 

What’s on offer for 2024:

13 sessions with our guest authors

Stan Grant, Julie Janson, Nam Le, Melissa Lucashenko, Marjon Mossamaparast, Christos Tsiolkas, Charlotte Wood and the recipient of the Tina Kane Emergent Writer Award, plus special guests

A concert

Farhan Shah and Sufi Oz

Three lunches 

A riverside picnic with a glass of wine, a Saturday lunch box and the festival finale lunch and a feature dinner with more music and wine included Joseph Abboud, the innovative restaurateur at Melbourne’s iconic eatery Rumi (named after the 13thcentury poet) is joining us this year to share more about his new cookbook, Rumi: Food of Middle Eastern Appearance. Abboud draws on Lebanese, Persian, and Turkish influences to create an environment of sharing and openness with self-professed simple, honest food, which he now shares with a wider audience.
