Government Partners

Welcome to the Frye Festival.

Books inspire, educate, inform, and allow us to discover new worlds. Our Government recognizes the contribution that arts and culture make to our communities, our identity, and our economy. We are always pleased to invest in efforts that give Canadians access to a wealth of literature in our two official languages. The Frye Festival celebrates the joys of reading in French and English. By bringing together great writers from across Canada and around the world, the festival honours fine literature and brings books to life for thousands of people.

On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada, I commend the organizers of the Frye Festival for their contribution to the arts and culture scene in Moncton.

In the 12 years since its first edition in 2000, the Frye Festival has grown into one of Canada’s most eclectic and energetic literary events, attracting authors of world-wide prominence and emerging talent alike.

Its bilingual status offers festival-goers a unique and highly gratifying encounter with the richness of our two official languages. The Government of New Brunswick is extremely proud to support the Festival and to welcome authors and visitors to our province and to the Greater Moncton area.

Enjoy the Festival.
