Calling all bookworms! If you’ve been on the hunt for your next favourite author, you’re not going to want to miss this festival coming to Toronto. With countless vendors, you can stroll through this festival and pick up a few new reads along the way. With the warm spring weather right around the corner (ignore the snow storm from earlier this week), there’s nothing like reading a good book outside. If you’re a book lover and like walking through outdoor markets, this festival is for you.
The Word on The Street
The Word on The Street festival is returning to Toronto for its 33rd year. If you’re tired of wandering through the same old bookstore (lets be honest though- does anyone ever really get tired of a bookstore?), you’ll definitely want to pay this festival a visit.
The outdoor market will feature a variety of Canadian and Indigenous books and magazines. There’s nothing like supporting local, right? It isn’t often that we can have a concentration of Canadian and Indigenous books readily available in such quantities.
“We’re excited to reconnect with our roots at Queen’s Park and welcome back our community of readers, writers, publishers, and booksellers to celebrate storytelling, ideas, and imagination with us,” says Festival Director David Alexander in a statement.
The festival will take place from June 11 through June 12th and will take over a section of Queen’s Park Crescent East, from Bloor St. West to Wellesley St. East. Although there has not been any additional information provided about vendors yet, we do know there will be over 100 different vendors!
