The St. Lawrence Writers Festival is a new arts initiative based in Brockville, Ontario.

This September, the festival celebrates words in every form and turns The Arts Hub into a lively centre of conversation, ideas, laughter, debate, and discovery. It brings together a broad range of writers, from established authors to rising voices.

In a time where public discourse often feels polarized, the St. Lawrence Writers Festival offers space for meaningful conversation and connection. It invites us to slow down, listen, exchange ideas, and remember the power of story as a bridge.
