CollingWord 2026 Literary Festival

Mark your calendars for 7th & 8th November 2026, as the Collingwood Public Library transforms into a vibrant hub for writers, readers, and literary enthusiasts. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a budding creator, this weekend celebrates the power of words across every genre. We are thrilled to welcome Canadian fantasy icon Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms, alongside the award-winning anthologist duo Cait Gordon & Talia C. Johnson. Dive into engaging panel discussions, celebrate local talent during our Short Story Contest readings, and browse the bustling vendors’ market to meet the faces behind your favourite books. The best part? This entire weekend of inspiration is completely FREE!
