About
Established in 1995, the Lakefield Literary Festival has become a beloved annual event that celebrates Canadian literature by hosting acclaimed authors and enthusiastic readers. Held in the picturesque village of Lakefield, nestled within Ontario’s Kawarthas region, the festival offers a weekend of engaging literary talks, readings, and discussions set against the backdrop of cottage country. Beyond the summer festival, the organization organizes year-round literary events and community programs. With a deep connection to Lakefield’s literary heritage—home to notable writers such as Margaret Laurence, Catharine Parr Traill, and Susanna Moodie—the festival honors literary traditions while inspiring new generations of readers and writers through thought-provoking conversations, author appearances, and community gatherings. As a newly federally incorporated charity, the festival is committed to promoting Canadian literature and fostering a love of reading across all ages.
