A National Tradition

Lethbridge is proud to join communities across the country in a national celebration of literacy, storytelling, and the literary arts!

In this role, the Festival’s mission is multi-faceted; to celebrate the power of the written word to connect us all; to acknowledge and promote writers, publishers and literary arts organizations in Alberta; to build bridges between literary arts and literacy in southern Alberta; to involve Aboriginal writers, theatre groups, and storytellers as integral contributors to Alberta’s heritage and culture; and to ensure The Word On The Street Lethbridge represents the diversity of all our community and is accessible to everyone.
