Description
The MASC Young Authors and Illustrators Festival returns for two exciting days this spring! This immersive literary festival for students in Grades 4–8 will take place on May 5 and 6 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum.
Throughout the day, students participate in a dynamic program of hands-on workshops, group sessions with authors and illustrators, live readings, book signings, and interactive discussions. It’s a unique opportunity for young writers and artists to learn directly from award-winning Canadian authors and illustrators, explore their creativity, and connect with others who share a passion for storytelling and illustration.
Students are invited to sign up for one or both days of the festival. If you love writing, drawing, and bringing stories to life, this is the literary festival for you!
Check out our exciting line-up of award-winning Canadian authors and illustrators coming to Ottawa for the 2026 festival.
A big thank you to our event sponsor, Leacross Foundation, for making this amazing event possible.
