This year, Word Vancouver, Western Canada's largest free literary arts festival, proudly marks its 30th anniversary. As we celebrate three decades of bringing authors and their captivating ideas to the streets of Vancouver, we invite you to join us in continuing our tradition of fostering a vibrant literary culture. Scheduled for September 21-28, with the main event on September 28 at UBC Robson Square, this festival is a cornerstone of our city’s cultural life, showcasing the diverse flavors of Vancouver through a dynamic and inclusive program.
