Every October, Wordfest produces The Imaginairium, Canada’s Liveliest Literary Festival. But wait, we do so much MORE. We also showcase the world’s most intriguing authors (in every genre!) from January through December in our own theatre in Memorial Park Library, as well as at Central Library, Decidedly Jazz Dance Centre, The Bella Concert Hall, and The Jack Singer Concert Hall. 

We collaborate creatively with local independent booksellers and community partners to bring you illuminating, invigorating, affordable, life-affirming experiences. 

If you missed out on (or would like to re-experience) a sampling of the 2025 shows that were part of our year-round 30th Anniversary Celebration, you can listen via this link to audio episodes. Thanks to our generous supporters, we are able to present Wordfest’s Imagine on Air as a free series. 

Check out our upcoming shows below and discover more about the writers and their books, which can be picked up onsite at our pop-up bookstores. Our shows sell out quickly, so act fast!
