    Going West Books & Writers Festival

    Going West Books & Writers is the annual literary festival that takes place in Waitakere, Auckland City each September.

    The festival celebrates its 16th anniversary in 2011. Its original inspiration came from the train journey described by Maurice Gee in his novel "Going West". The festival incorporates a variety of word-based events including: a literary weekend that brings writers and performers from around the country to discuss writing and the world of ideas; a NZ theatre season; a poetry slam; second-hand and rare book market; exhibitions; and events for youth.
