Events & Workshops

The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is proud to present the 16th annual Words in the Park, in partnership with Regina Downtown Business Improvement District and the Regina Public Library.

Held on July 15 and July 22 at noon in the north-east corner of Victoria Park, between 12:00 and 1:00 pm, Words in the Park provides the downtown lunch crowd a chance to experience readings by an eclectic mix of authors and storytellers during their lunch hours. The authors come from a variety of genres, including playwrights, children’s authors, poets, short fiction, spoken word, and non-fiction. Whether they are just emerging or already well established, a mix of authors from across Saskatchewan will read selections of their work. 

In case of rain, readings will be held in The Regina Public Library Central Branch’s Prairie Sage Room.

This event will not be live-streamed.

Accessibility measures for this event: microphones will be used, self-descriptions will be given, read-along copies will be available, and the park has wide sidewalks and is wheelchair and mobility aid accessible. The Regina Public Library is wheelchair accessible and has gender neutral washrooms.
