Journey across generations, cultures, and landscapes at the 2026 St. Albert Readers Festival, STARFest.

This year's festival brings together an exceptional lineup of acclaimed and emerging literary voices exploring identity, family, history, belonging, and resilience. From CBC Canada Reads winner Loghan Paylor, Booker Prize longlisted Maria Reva, Giller Prize shortlisted authors Angélique Lalonde and Patrick deWitt to rising Canadian literary talents Jane Park, Tara Gereaux, and Zak Jones, audiences will encounter unforgettable stories of love, war, migration, memory, community, and self-discovery. Spanning WWII-era Canada, contemporary Ukraine, the Prairies, Appalachia, and beyond, these engaging conversations with leading Alberta writers and journalists showcase some of the most compelling voices shaping Canadian literature today.
