Set against the sweeping coastline of Western Australia’s Coral Coast, the Big Sky Readers and Writers Festival transforms Geraldton into a vibrant hub of storytelling, creativity and culture each October. Visitors can experience inspiring author talks, engaging panel discussions and interactive workshops while exploring Geraldton’s cafés, foreshore precinct and historic streets. With spring sunshine, ocean views and a welcoming regional atmosphere, the festival offers the perfect excuse for a cultural getaway. Pair a weekend of books and ideas with coastal walks, fresh Mid West seafood and day trips to nearby natural attractions — making Big Sky not just a literary event, but a memorable regional escape under WA’s wide open skies.

We are the premier singing festival in Australia, and a linchpin in Tasmania’s winter season. Recognised nationally by choirs, musicians and audiences as the leading destination, and most inclusive celebration of vocal excellence. Everyone can participate in Festival of Voices, from curious beginner to seasoned professional.
We bring people together. We bring joy to communities, and we unite people from all over Australia, in the middle of winter, through song, through voice, and through experience.
We are inclusive, diverse, sustainable and accessible. We are for everyone, and we champion our belief that singing is for everyone; from student to professional, from punter to performer, from secret shower soloist to karaoke enthusiast and beyond.
