Cabot Trail Writers Festival
Three days of authors, readings and workshops.
Literary weekend in St. Ann's bringing together Atlantic Canadian authors, poets and storytellers for readings, salon-style conversations and writing workshops.
What to expect
Intimate format — readings in church halls, conversations on porches. Crowd of writers and readers, very welcoming to first-timers.
Highlights
The Saturday-night feature reading. The morning workshops. The bookseller table with festival-only signings.
Plan ahead
Festival pass or single tickets. Stay at the Lobster Galley area or Ingonish (15 min). Book early — accommodation is tight in St. Ann's.
Why go
Quiet, generous, and steeped in the same landscape that has shaped the literature it celebrates.
