Lit Crawl Boston is set to return for Year 4 on Thursday, June 11, 2020. Just announced: this year we’re crossing the Charles River to host Lit Crawl in Cambridge for the first time!

A note re: COVID-19 and Lit Crawl Boston: recognizing that guidelines are changing day-to-day regarding gatherings in the age of the coronavirus, we are proceeding under the assumption that Lit Crawl 2020 will take place on June 11. We are monitoring the advice of public health professionals and local and state governments, and will make an announcement if any plans change.

Come celebrate the city’s literary past, present, and future on a night of irreverent literary programming in Cambridge’s unique and culturally rich Central Square neighborhood. Over three evening sessions, intrepid readers will choose from a variety of unique literary events including games, performances, provocations and other oddities, all in surprising venues ranging from cafes and art galleries to barbershops and furniture stores.

This moveable feast in one of the most walkable cities on the planet is FREE, and many of the events will offer free beer and wine. Co-presented by the Boston Book Festival and the Litquake Foundation.

San Francisco’s Litquake literary festival runs October 8–17, 2020 with affiliated Lit Crawls in San Francisco, Manhattan, Austin, Los Angeles, Iowa City, Seattle, London, Portland, Chicago, Denver, Boston, Minneapolis, Cheltenham, and Wellington.
