Our Mission

To provide an enriching cultural experience for all people that explores the life and work of C. S. Lewis through collaborations by the arts, education, and faith communities.

C. S. Lewis Festival, Inc. is a not-for-profit, donor-supported 501(c) (3) tax-exempt corporation that annually facilitates a month-long exploration of the life and works of the man who created Narnia.

Begun in Petoskey, Michigan, in 2003, the C. S. Lewis Festival consists of an award-winning collaboration between schools, libraries, music and theater groups, arts programs, businesses, and religious fellowships in Northern Michigan. Events for all ages start in September, and participants attend from all over the state, the Midwest, and beyond.

C.S. Lewis Festival fosters a welcoming environment for equality of opportunity. We believe that diversity brings strength and celebrates the richness of our community.

We embrace a robust variation of thought to provide a broad understanding of our world without the marginalization of any group.
