Join us for the 6th Annual Sonoma Valley Festival
April 28 – 30, 2023
We have a wonderfully intimate Festival, which also means the number of seats is limited. Purchase a Sponsorship early to secure your attendance at the 2023 Festival.
We have a remarkable roster of authors and speakers for 2023 with more to come! View the Festival Schedule.
Be sure to watch this space and join our mailing list to stay up to date.
The Sonoma Valley Authors Festival brings people together to hear authors from a variety of literary genres, and speakers who discuss advances being made in science, technology, and medicine. At a time when the art of listening seems to be disappearing, the need for civil discourse has never been greater. With so many voices vying for our attention, people are receptive to well-informed speakers and eager for thoughtful conversation and discussion of ideas.
Without the support of our generous sponsors, it would be impossible to bring you the annual Sonoma Valley Authors Festival, Students Day, or Authors on the Historic Sonoma Plaza.
