The Way We Calgary'd

Wordfest turns 30 this year and they’re throwing a lively bash to celebrate the Calgarians who helped build Wordfest. It’s their way of thanking writers, readers, and community builders for helping to spark their thriving literary scene. And what better way to showcase this city’s range of wordy goodness than inviting seven of their finest storytellers to share a seven-minute tale about the relationship between their art and their hometown, in all its contradictions, complexities, and connections. Join them for The Way We… Calgary’d, featuring Ali Bryan, Marcello Di Cintio, Will Ferguson, Cheryl Foggo, Richard Harrison, Joshua Whitehead, and Teresa Wong, with a special performance by Tom Phillips. Come early to check out their special Anniversary Exhibit, featuring posters, T-shirts, ephemera, and more examples of Wordfest’s creativity over the decades.
