2026 Litquake Festival
San Francisco’s Litquake festival returns October 8–24 with a celebration of literature and the communities that create it. Presented by the Litquake Foundation, the annual festival connects readers with writers through live literary programming, conversation and readings. Its longstanding focus on Bay Area writing creates space for audiences to encounter different voices and engage with the ideas and issues shaping contemporary life.
The festival culminates on October 24 with Lit Crawl San Francisco, a free literary gathering spread through the Mission District. Readings take place in settings ranging from bars, cafes, galleries and bookstores to less conventional neighborhood spaces. Festival events use multiple locations, so visitors should consult the official schedule for each program’s venue, admission details and any registration requirements.
