The Addi Road Writers’ Festival is back for 2025, a family-friendly and social day for everyone involved. It includes book sales and author signings. You’ll find panels with esteemed authors, live musical acts and more.

The theme for 2025 is “Free Expression”, signifying a belief in freedom of speech, as well as supporting the release of artists and writers from censorship and controlling forces on the rise, both around and within us all.

It’s on from 11am-6pm on Saturday, 17 May, 11am at the Addison Road Community Centre.

Artistic director, Mark Mordue, an internationally published journalist and editor, as well as one of the festival directors, joined 2SER Breakfast.

All profits go to Addi Road’s food relief programs and community work. The festival is funded by Addi Road Community Organisation with support from the Inner West Council.
