Read by the Sea

A one-day literary festival on Nova Scotia's beautiful north shore.

~ an Atlantic celebration

Bring a lawn chair and join us by the gazebo in the arboreal gardens at the River John Canadian Legion Hall. After the readings, authors are available for book signing and more chat. The relaxed atmosphere extends into the evening where authors and festival-goers mingle over a meal. The event closes with "Your Turn", an open bar/open mike cabaret-style event where writers from all over are encouraged to strut their stuff.
