Going West Books and Writers Festival
Add to my REAL NZ Festival trip planner Added to your REAL NZ Festival trip plannerGoing West began 15 years ago and was the Auckland region's first writers' festival. Its focus is on writers, thinkers and performers from New Zealand and the Pacific — past and present, established and emerging.
Since its inception in 1996 it has attracted the participation of over 350 writers and performers.
Taking place over a three to four week period across various venues in West Auckland, Going West events include a literary weekend, the family day Storyfest, a theatre season, poetry slam and rare books market.
Visit the Going West Books and Writers Festival website for the event programme.
