Literary and other arts & cultural circles intersect during the second annual SunLit Festival, a springtime celebration of the written word. SunLit Festival 2017 includes 23 events over 16 days bringing together various literary organizations and arts disciplines to celebrate literacy, literature, reading, and writing for days of intoxicating “Litertainment” and just plain fun.
Literature represents a moment in time. It is an exploration of our history, an expression of our experiences and of the life that surrounds us. It is a discussion of who we are, how we got that way and what choices we can make to shape our future.
Sunlit will raise the profile of our city. It’s a literary smorgasbord. Gorge yourself.
