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.
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!

Wordfest is thrilled to present Margaret Atwood in celebration of Book of Lives, her long-awaited memoir (of sorts). She lent her lustre to the our first festival back in 1996, which makes it even more special that she will be the star of the grand finale of our 30th Anniversary year—hosted by the astonishing Heather O’Neill.
