Festival of Words

The Festival of Words is held in Grand Coteau. Celebrate the written word with open mics throughout the year that culminate in this two-day festival. Sharpen your craft with creative writing workshops hosted by published authors. There will also be a community stage for open mic and “Drive-by Poetry”. At this event, youth give dramatic presentations of festival authors’ writings.

This year, the Festival of Words will feature workshops and poetry readings by Patrice Melnick, former Poet Laureate Darrell Bourque, and Toby Daspit.
