Lincolnshire Champion for the London 2012 Olympics, Councillor Doreen Stephenson, said: "This year's Wolds Words festival is set to be better than ever.
"In a year that our nation hosted the greatest ever Olympic Games ever, East Lindsey is once again championing the Olympic spirit and I hope everyone will celebrate this fantastic event.
"Not only will it bring visitors to the area, helping to boost our local economy, it will be a celebration for the whole community."
Other highlights of the festival will include a two-day workshop for aspiring writers and BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Farming presenter, Alan Stennent, will give an illustrated talk on the changes seen in agriculture over the past 100 years.
In addition there is an intriguing comedy line-up, including 'The Boy With Tape On His Face' who passes the barriers of language and culture in a hysterical show which promises to keep the audience laughing.
And children will also certainly be entertained with a wide variety of creative workshops such as stop-motion animation and pop-up book-making sessions.
Tickets for Wolds Words events will be available from the Riverhead Theatre and Louth Library from today (Wednesday).
Tickets for an evening with Mark Foster are £10 for adults and £5 for juniors (Under 14s) and will be at the Riverhead Theatre in Louth at 7.30pm.
