“Wordfest is The Perfect Night Out”

“The access and Intimacy that Wordfest allows isn’t captured anywhere else.” Video by Pluto Pictures.

More Than Just 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 at our theatre in Memorial Park Library, Central Library, and Calgary’s best venues. We work with local independent booksellers and community partners to bring you illuminating, invigorating, affordable, life-affirming experiences.
