We are pleased to invite the community to join us for our series of free 2025 Pavilion Lawn Talks.

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 19-21 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 the talk from inside the Sun Valley Pavilion, we have single event tickets available. We recommend signing up for our email newsletter to receive important updates and information about these events.

A complete schedule of available talks will be announced in June.
