Something for Everyone!

What's On The Street?

Lethbridge’s first The Word On The Street festival was a huge success, thanks to the over 1,800 people who attended and our authors, performers and volunteers.  While we're getting ready for the 2012 festival, take a look and see what we did at Lethbridge’s newest street festival last September.  Check back with us in March for more information on 2012's festival.
