In 2011, The Word On The Street Festival Vancouver is expanding to a three day event. Programming will celebrate the history of the written word in Vancouver and contemporary writing with a Vancouver theme. Programming will include writings that address the history of Vancouver, locations in Vancouver, the people of Vancouver, and stories set in Vancouver. Vancouver writers both current and past will be highlighted. We are most excited about our partnership with the Carnegie Centre for Saturday September 24th. This venue will primarily be used to program writing with a Downtown Eastside focus.
