Since 2016, Victoria Festival of Authors has been the largest celebration of books and book lovers on Vancouver Island. Each fall, the festival invites authors from across Canada to share their books and ideas with Victoria’s readers. VFA has also included school-based youth programs for students of SD61 since 2019.

The five-day festival includes readings, panels, workshops, and masterclasses, as well as events that showcase the fusion of literature with other art forms, such as dance, music and visual arts.

The Victoria Festival of Authors is going virtual this year! Check back for the schedule once they’ve finished compiling the list of inspiring events they’ve got in store.
