Fantasy Faire 2020 – Literary Festival

The Literary Festival (AKA Litfest) at Fantasy Faire 2020 returns for the sixth time and this time it has a sandy setting to honour a sandy storyline.

Litfest doesn’t just deal with the written word, it also delves into the spoken word with discussion groups, workshops, author talks, tours of the regions and much more.

The main setting for this year’s Litfest is Drifts of Anamnesis., an appropriate setting because this year Litfest pays homage to Scheherazade and the Tales of 1,001 Nights.
