Lit & Art at the Baltimore Book Festival

What many people in the local literary community refer to as our “literary new year” will be here before you know it: The Baltimore Book Festival takes place on the weekend of September 23-25 and offers a little bit of lit for everyone. The event is free and fun!

As a part of the festival, the “Lit & Art at the Watermark” series will bring fiction, poetry, non-fiction, live music and original artwork to the Baltimore Free School Lit and Language tent on Saturday, September 24 from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Started in October 2007, the Lit and Art series provides a unique opportunity to sample a wide variety of artistic sensibilities in one sitting. The program will feature series regulars Katherine Cottle, Barbara Morrison, Liz Mozer, Holly Myers, Rick Connor, Fernando Quijano III, Nitin Jagdish, and Sally Whitney. The Lit and Art house band Red Tractor Factory and Manzar will provide music.

Come experience what has been called “the best excuse to get lit in Baltimore on a Sunday afternoon.” Only this time it's on Saturday.
