Bridges Literary Festival

Welcome to the Bridges Literary Festival, New Westminster’s new festival of all things literary, bringing you stories of a river city. We are thrilled to launch the inaugural festival on the weekend of May 9th to 12th, presented by New Westminster Public Library in partnership with venues and organizations throughout the city (schedule available on website.)

There is a whole raft of free events for all ages to attend over the course of the weekend – author talks, poetry readings, kids’ storytimes, book launches, a local author book club, literary crafts, a critics circle, writing and creation workshops, and social events! All events are free, some are drop-in, but most require registration so we can plan for numbers.

Come. Read. Listen. Learn. Celebrate. Be inspired!
