The Dahlonega Literary Festival takes place on March 7, 2026. The historic Holly Theatre in Dahlonega will host a full day of panels and presentations by literary favorites—both old and new. We'll have 18 authors this year over six sessions . There are no concurrent sessions, and lunch is on your own in downtown Dahlonega.

​

Our Headliner will be Joshilyn Jackson; the fee for that session will include a signed hardback book. All other sessions will be free.

​

 

The schedule for the festival is now available!                                          

Also, there will be a Thursday, March 5, event--Stacia Pelletier will be giving a free presentation at noon in the Mike Cottrell Center Ballroom at the University of North Georgia, Dahlonega.

Thank you to our sponsors for the Dahlonega Literary Festival!
