a day of inspiration, collaboration and creation for songwriters of all levels!

• On the day, make sure you’re early to ensure prompt commencements of the various events.

• If you play an instrument and use it as part of your songwriting process, be sure to bring it along!

• During the time you’re not attending a Q&A or workshop, there will be spaces provided for you to sit and create. We strongly encourage co-writing with others at the festival, both as a way to discover more about songwriting and to build your network.

• There’ll be opportunities to perform some of the day’s creations at the gala concert at the end of the festival.
