The Word On The Street is a great place for families to come discover some of the best Canadian and Atlantic Canadian children's literature there is - for both young kids and young adults.  Throughout the day there will be readings, discussions and interviews of talented authors and performers for school-age readers.  There will also be arts and crafts and activities related to the books our authors are sharing with us.  Finally, there will be games, face painting and contests throughout the day.  A true celebration, The Word On The Street offers something for every family. 

Book Bag Treasure Hunt:  Gifts for everyone, not just the kids.

You will be able to buy these self-filling bags on both sides of the harbour.

They are $20. There are 200 available on the Halifax waterfront site and 50 available at the Alderney Landing site (where the Farmer's market is held by the Craig Gallery)
