The Festival

 Frye Festival is Atlantic Canada’s biggest literary happening and a bilingual celebration of books, ideas and imagination.

Amounting to ten days of festivities, the festival takes place at the end of April and unfolds in the Greater Moncton region, in neighbouring communities, and, in the case of school visits, all over the province.

Through its creative approach, the festival allows for words to jump from the page.

Frye in the Community

Writers in the School is one of Frye’s key programs, where a dozen French and English authors bring books to life in over 100 classrooms all over New Brunswick.

Through reading and writing workshops, students discover contemporary literature, develop their taste for words, and strengthen their sense of cultural belonging.

Activities take place in New Brunswick public schools, including immersion programs. 

Digital Frye

 Discours/e is designed to be a hub for our region’s literary and cultural scene, a space where critical essays on literature by local authors mingle with academic articles and video archives, a space fully invested by the Atlantic literary and cultural milieu.

Discours/e is a bilingual digital catalogue which offers visual and audio archives, critical essays and articles— reflecting the diversity and richness of Atlantic literatures and cultures.
