SF literary festival finale is when ‘writers are cool’
Hundreds of authors and thousands more readers are expected to descend upon the Mission district Saturday as Litquake once again concludes with a book-inspired crawl through the neighborhood and its businesses.
Organizers of Lit Crawl, set for its 21st edition this weekend, said the event will bring together more than 500 writers and close to 5,000 attendees for what they bill as the world’s largest free pop-up of its kind.
Art centers, bars, bookstores, coffee shops, and other neighborhood establishments will host activities, author talks, games, readings and writing exercises as part of Lit Crawl, which organizers say aims to celebrate the power of storytelling and the connections that are made when people listen to and share their experiences with each other.
