The written word in all its glory is what the latest festival on Broadway Avenue is about.
The Word on the Street festival celebrates the written word and promotes literacy.
Festival Director, Mandy Pravda says there are local and national authors taking part from all genres including novelists, how-to writers, children’s book authors and a writer for TV.
Ins Choi is a writer and producer for the show Kim’s Convenience.
There is also an area set aside for children with activities from the Remai Art Caravan, the Imagination Playground, the Children’s Discovery Museum and the Saskatoon Public Library.
As of Saturday night at 10 through 8 o’clock tomorrow night, there will be some road closures in the Broadway area and the north and south side of 10th Street East from the alleyway east and west of Broadway will be closed as of 6 tonight.
Opening ceremonies are at 10 a.m. with the exhibits and activities continuing between 11 and 5.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
