Every October, Wordfest showcases 45+ authors in 35+ original live arts experiences (e.g. What a Pair! conversations, Big Ideas showcases, our unique The Way We… storytelling showcase, How to’s, The O’Neill Reads Talk Show, Literary Death Match, Deep Dish Culture) over five days. Approximately 85% of the artists presented are Canadian, showcasing major stars, groundbreakers, vital voices, and emerging talents.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta District 6, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
