Wordfest's "Human-Focused" Mission
Yes, we put on great shows, providing the in-person exclamation points between books being written and books being read. But Wordfest sets the stage for so much MORE. Take a minute to listen to Jason Logan, our longtime creative director, as he shares the story behind Wordfest’s 2026 branding campaign.
What You Can Expect at Calgary's Wordfest
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.
