Become Part of the Vital Wordfest Community
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2025, Wordfest™ produces lively, accessible shows year-round, in addition to presenting the Imaginairium Festival every October. Our goal is to help you think bigger, dig deeper, and build meaningful connections with the world’s best authors and books. Whether you love fiction or non-fiction, memoir or mysteries, food culture or pop culture, politics or poetry, major prize winners or breakout stars, a Wordfest show is the exclamation between the book being written and the book being read.
Sign up for our newsletter here so you’ll never miss out on the wide range of local, national, and international writers that we are able to showcase in Calgary. For questions or assistance booking tickets, please email us at boxoffice@wordfest.com

About Us
Wordfest™ beams out from Calgary, Canada in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Treaty 7 territory. We are an entrepreneurial arts non-profit founded in 1996 as one of Canada’s leading literary festivals. Our small team’s mission (which is to connect the world’s best audiences with the world’s best authors) has evolved to include producing lively, accessible shows year-round, in addition to the fall Imaginairium Festival. Our unique (and free) Wordfest Youth program focuses fuelling literacy in Grades 5 to 12, providing interactive experiences and class sets of books to thousands of students every year. We also produce Imagine On Air Audio, as well as online programming.
We Love our Funders
