Telling Tales Festival

Step through Westfield's Gates of Time into a storybook village where historical figures mingle with contemporary children's literary stars on this magical day. Plan to attend the 3rd Annual Telling Tales Festival on Sunday, September 18, 2011 – all ages will find it entertaining and unforgettable. More than a celebration of stories and storytelling, Telling Tales is an important fundraising event, committed to providing financial assistance to much-needed local literacy programs. In our second year, we were successful in raising $45,000 for local literacy projects.

The festival is thrilled to be working with TD to build excitement and awareness for the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award. They will be inviting at least one of the shortlisted authors when they are announced in late May.

Enjoy poetry readings, author signings, book sales and more !!

Some of the participants this year are Jean Little, Barbara Reid, Lesley Livingston, Arthur Slade, Jo Ellen Bogart, Ian Wallace, and many more.
