The Festival's literary arts program presents on literary readings and performances by local and regional literary talent with an emphasis on underrepresented voices and communities. Performers this year come from a variety of literary genres, including poetry, cowboy poetry, fiction, nonfiction, storytellers, hip-hop, and spoken word.
New this year: all five stages will be graced with spoken word as we integrate this powerful and energetic art into the Festival experience!
