Mildura Writers' Festival

Held from 16-19 July the Mildura Writers' Festival presents three days of words, food and wine on the Murray River featuring Australian and International writers. It is a festival for writers and readers with an emphasis on place and conviviality.

The Festival was founded in 1993 by celebrity cook Stefano de Pieri and his wife Donata Carrazza and each year the Phillip Hodgins Memorial Medal is presented, in honour of the festival's first guest and outstanding Australian writer.

"The most convivial and enjoyable literary festival in Australia - a model of its kind", Peter Rose, Australian Author. For more information and tickets click here.
