The Word on the Street Halifax

Welcome to our 23rd Annual Word on the Street Festival from the Festival Team
WoTS Halifax is a great way to experience a wide range of books and meet a large number of authors Each year our one-day celebration of literacy arts presents an array of local, regional and national authors, poets, illustrators, spoken word artists, and entertainers, it’s a great way to connect with those who are well-known and discover emerging voices. We are proud to showcase the many members of our literary community that call Atlantic Canada home!
As a festival-goer you will be able to enjoy readings, panel discussions, musical entertainment, and an array of family friendly activities. All those appearing in our festival line-up will be signing copies of their books, and taking time to chat with festival attendees in our Book Signing Area hosted by Bookmark. If you are struggling to find the perfect gift for the holiday season you can never go wrong with a book.
While attending the festival please take time to stroll our Festival Day Marketplace featuring over 30 publishers, booksellers, literacy organizations, community groups.
The Festival Team would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who makes Word on the Street Halifax possible – our visiting authors, our audience, our publishers, our exhibitors, our sponsors, and especially to the Halifax Central Library for being such a gracious host.
