The Festival takes place on one (usually) sultry weekend in March when the most illustrious and freshest names in the literary, theatrical, and cultural spheres descend on the French Quarter for five days of festivities.
The 2013 Festival features literary panel discussions, theatrical performances, master classes for individuals desiring a more intensive “one-on-one” opportunity with a notable expert in writing or the arts, and a variety of other events, including our Scholars’ Conference, “Drummer and Smoke” music program, Literary Late Night Series, as well as literary walking tours and food events.
