Join us July 18-20, 2026 | The Sun Valley Pavilion Lawn | FREE
We want our local community to enjoy all that SVWC has to offer, which is why we have opened up select Pavilion Talks for FREE seating on the lawn of the Sun Valley Pavilion. Bring a picnic, blanket, and low-back chair and join us July 18-20 to hear from some of our country’s most inspiring minds.
Select presentations will be broadcast live to the large jumbotron on the Pavilion lawn. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis—no ticketing or registration is required. You can browse our Bookstore Tent to purchase books by each author and join us for book signings following the talk. If you would prefer to watch from inside the Sun Valley Pavilion, we have a new Special Series Pavilion Pass available for select talks. We recommend signing up for our email newsletter to receive important updates and information about these events.
Stay tuned for upcoming announcements. We recommend signing up for our email newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.
Our Commitment to Community Engagement
At the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, accessibility is at the heart of our work. We are deeply committed to serving the Wood River Valley community, especially our students, teachers, librarians, and educators, and to ensuring that anyone who loves literature can find a place here.
That’s why we’ve developed a wide range of free events and community programs, additional venues, and digital experiences. From library talks and livestreaming to a Live Watch Party and our growing media library, there are more ways than ever to engage with SVWC—both in person and online.
Thank you for being a very important part of the SVWC community. And thank you to our donors who help make these outreach programs possible.
