Celebrating 11 Years in our Community!
If you love the written word you'll love The Word On The Street. Join us next year, on Sunday, September 23 2012 as Victoria Park transforms into a booklover's paradise.
What's On The Street?
This year's the Word on the Street was a huge success, and while we're getting ready for 2012 take a look and see what we did for 2011's The Word on the Street festival!
Check out our 2011 Exhibitor Page and Author Page!
Keep checking back for more information on 2012's festival!
Victoria Park Marketplace
Exhibitors will be situated all along Jubilee Drive in Victoria Park. From independent authors to book publishers and bookstores, our marketplace has something for everyone!
Check out the Marketplace Page for more details. |
Family Fun
There's lots of fun going on throughout the whole park for the family. Come down the Canadian Heritage Reading Rocks Children's Tent to hear a children's author read, participate in a sing-a-long and do a craft! Parents can also enjoy readings in the CTV Authors Tent and a sip of coffee from our coffee vendor.
Check out our Families Page as well as our What's On schedules!
Literacy
The Word On The Street is committed to improving the reading skills and functional literacy of Canadians. As such, we work closely with the Kitchener Public Library. If you are interested in literacy programs for yourself or someone else or wish to help others improve their literacy skills please visit KPL's website to see what's available in our community.
