WordFest - Waco Cultural Arts

WordFest - Waco Cultural Arts The 2024 WordFest is a three day event: November 15-17, 2024 at the Waco Convention Center Events are usually held in the Waco Convention Center.

WordFest is a 'festival within a festival' offering an exciting variety of events for written & spoken-word artists of all ages, styles, languages, genres, and levels. Our vision is to produce a rich selection of programs affording festival attendees to participate in three ways:

--to hear poetry and prose via author readings, open mics, panel discussions, and performances;
--to practice the cr

aft of poetry, prose, stories, songs, journaling, and more via writing workshops;
--to speak/share works aloud bringing words from the page to the stage via open mics, featured readings, and round-table sharing during workshops. Waco Cultural Arts WordFest takes place over three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. All WordFest events are FREE and open to the public of all ages. The past few years on Sundays, a new WordFest feature includes: the joining of poets with Native American Flute players & rhythm instruments in interactive sessions as well as concerts.
