Love the written word? Whether you’re a fan of best-selling fiction, a magazine junkie, a cookbook collector, or a writer in the making, there’s something for everyone at the Word on the Street Festival. Taking place at Queen’s Park today from 11am until 6pm, Word on the Street is a celebration of Canadian literature. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase books and magazines from a variety of publishers and book-sellers, hear from your favourite Canadian authors, participate in contests and even join in on a workshop for aspiring writers. Kids can join in on the literary fun with “KidStreet” a special area of the park devoted to families which offers children’s programming, including the TVO Kids Stage, the Children’s Reading Tent and the Children’s Activity Tent.

The Word on the Street National Book and Magazine Festival is free for all; for more information, go to www.thewordonthestreet.ca.
