Get Lit! Festival 2026

The Get Lit! Festival is an annual literary festival housed within Eastern Washington University. Our mission is to celebrate the power of the written word. For 28 years, our program has presented a dynamic and diverse lineup of 40+ free and low-cost literary events like readings, on-stage conversations, craft classes, open-mics, and much more featuring highly talented and inspiring authors from our region and beyond. This year's headliners are Tessa Hulls, Willie Vlautin, and Keetje Kuipers. Learn more about all of our 60+ festival authors and events via getlitfestival.org
