The Get Lit! Festival

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 27 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 Maggie Smith, Danez Smith, and Li-Young Lee. Learn more about all of our 65+ festival authors and events via getlitfestival.org
