Explore a World of Ideas on Granville Island…
INNcredible
The Vancouver International Writers & Readers Festival gratefully acknowledges Dockside Restaurant and the Granville Island Hotel for their generous contributions to this year's Festival.
The 22nd Vancouver International Writers & Readers Festival on Granville Island offers a world of ideas to explore, with 100 writers from around the world. This is your opportunity to attend readings, discussions, debates and poetry bashes, and to meet an eclectic array of writers from Canada and around the world. You can rely on several things—that Festival events will get you thinking, introduce you to new authors and, if your aspirations are to write, you are sure to be inspired.
Attending the events is just part of the Festival experience. We are thrilled that the Festival calls Granville Island home and that it adds so much to our audiences’ enjoyment of the Festival. The island’s location, an oasis in the heart of Vancouver, makes it ideal for the Festival. Although access is convenient on transit, we
recommend the water taxis as the ultimate way to get here!
Whilst you are on the island, we hope that you will take the time to explore. Along with the wonderful public market, restaurants and cafés, there are many hidden shops, galleries and artist studios to discover. Be part of the excitement that permeates Granville Island for the six days of the Festival.
Granville Island is managed on behalf of the Government of Canada by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The Vancouver International Writers Festival is a proud cultural partner of CMHC Granville Island and is honoured to be a resident of this vibrant community. Enjoy.
A SPECIAL THANKS
To East India Carpets, Northwest Bungalow and David Hunter Garden Centers for making our Festival stages beautiful.
