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.
