Wordfest is More Than a Festival

Every October, Wordfest produces The Imaginairium, Canada’s Liveliest Literary Festival. But wait, there’s more! We also present 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 work with local independent booksellers and community partners to bring you illuminating, invigorating, affordable, life-affirming experiences. 

Check out our upcoming shows 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!
