2013 Festival Program

Winterset in Summer is Newfoundland and Labrador's unique literary festival designed to celebrate the writers of our splendid province. Meet new and established authors and hear them talk about their writing with celebrity hosts.

Our 2013 Program is now available under the "2013 Festival Schedule" link.

There is one significant change in this year's program - founding host Michael Enright will be taking a well-deserved sabbatical in 2013. We offer a warm welcome to CTV's Seamus O'Regan who will host the BMO Winterset Award Voices panel this year.

Check out additional programming under the Events tab.
