A festival within a festival, Parramatta’s Lit! is a bold new addition to Sydney Fringe Festival, a city-wide celebration of stories, poetry, plays, books and readers. Parramatta is a thriving home for readers and writers. This open access literary festival showcases local writing, like you’ve never seen before.
Across a range of venues including Arts and Cultural Exchange, PHIVE, Elizabeth Farm, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University, and Hambledon Cottage, the program features truth telling, panel discussions, play readings, a zine fair, masterclasses, an industry development day and more.
With contributions from leading literary partners such as Story Factory, Giramondo Publishing, Sydney Review of Books, Think and Do Tank Foundation, Australian Plays Transforms and A Western Sydney Book Club, the lineup brings together authors, poets, publishers, collectives and communities from across Western Sydney and beyond.
If you write, read, or just love a good story, we reckon you’ll love Parramatta’s Lit!
