The annual summer festival is the centerpiece event for this organization and is a showcase for the best of CanLit. The 4 day festival takes place the 3rd week of July in Moose Jaw, SK. One of the guiding principles behind the summer festival is to provide intimate venues allowing for high levels of interaction between writers and readers. Another principle is to offer a program that promotes both established and emerging voices working in a variety of genres and mediums. Workshops, panels, Q&A sessions, readings, panel discussions, slam poetry competitions, live musical and/or theatrical entertainment and trivia contests give attendees plenty to choose from. More than 30 presenters attend each year with approximately 60 events held during the four days. Year round programming includes the monthly Performers Cafe open mic night (free event for all ages), the Cineview film series (bringing independent and foreign films to Moose Jaw through TIFF), and National Poetry Month readings.
