Yes! Entrance to the Bocas Methanex One-Day Community Festivals is free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come basis and everyone is welcome.
Our Bocas Methanex Festival Programmes are tailored around writers who live and work, or are otherwise meaningfully connected with the areas in which the festivals are taking place.
If you’re interested in participating in one of the Bocas Methanex festivals, send us an email at [email protected] with an author bio, book synopsis and any critical reviews/endorsements for consideration. All writers are welcome to participate in our Stand & Deliver series.
The Bocas Lit Fest does not sell or distribute books, so books by authors appearing at the Festival (and many other titles) are sold by independent booksellers who set up booths in our Festival Village. Make sure to purchase early so you’re first in line for book signing!
Beyond books, the Festival Villages have an array of exciting local products, crafts and services from specialist vendors — everything from artisan chocolate to handmade clothing, jewellery and crafts. If you’re interested in having your own booth, contact us at [email protected] to get more information.
Yes! We recruit a large team of volunteers year-round.
