This hugely popular feature of the local program sees book lovers reading the same book in the lead-up to the Festival weekend.
Read the book then attend the event where a panel discusses the book selected for each year. For 2025, the Great Festival Read is Purple Threads by Jeanine Leane. The panel conversation will be between women leaders in our community.
This session is followed by an in-conversation session with the author Jeanine Leane.
