The 21st Dahlonega Literary Festival took place on March 7, 2026. The historic Holly Theatre in Dahlonega hosted a full day of panels and presentations by literary favorites—both old and new. We had 17 authors this year over six sessions.

The schedule for the festival is linked here.

Our Headliner was Joshilyn Jackson; the fee for that session included a signed hardback book. All other sessions were free.
