Tulsa Lit Fest returns on Thursday, April 18th. The annual festival, sponsored by the Center for Poets and Writers at OSU-Tulsa, Whitty Books, Tri-City Collective, and Fulton Street Books & Coffee, celebrates diverse literary talent at events across the city.
From Thursday to Sunday, Tulsans can enjoy an array of free events, including open mic nights, live readings, and more.
On Thursday, the evening begins with an author conversation, followed by a trivia night and a mixer. Friday, attendees can enjoy a conversation with RJ Joseph at Witty Books, followed by a reading at THE STUDIO.
Later that night, head on over to Fulton Street for “Giddy Up on Greenwood,” a western-themed costume mixer with performances, a DJ, a mechanical bull, and more. Sponsored in partnership with ASLUT and Black Queer Tulsa, organizers encourage Tulsans to secure their free tickets early.
Saturday and Sunday are both filled to the brim with events from morning through the evening. Attendees can enjoy an array of panels, book signings, yoga sessions, and workshops, among other things.
Lit Fest provides an opportunity for literature lovers in Tulsa to come together and build community.
Tulsa Lit Fest strives “to bring together diverse literary artists and writers to collaborate and inspire, enriching the Tulsa community.” It is an opportunity unlike any other in the city for literary enthusiasts of all kinds to connect.
The event serves as a testament to Tulsa’s rich culture of literary artists, as well as its strong network of small, independent bookstores.
Those interested in attending any of the dozens of events this weekend can secure their tickets on Eventbrite.
Tulsa Lit Fest kicks off at 5:30pm on Thursday, and wraps up with its final event at 7:00pm on Sunday. All events on the schedule are free and open for all to enjoy.
