For Texas Book Festival attendees, the literary events need not end with the festival. According to the official Texas Book Festival website, the annual “Lit Crawl” will occur the night of Saturday, Oct. 25.
The Lit Crawl is an after-hours event designed to allow both festival goers and other interested parties to interact with many authors featured in the Texas Book Festival. The event is sponsored by the Texas Book Festival and Litquake, a book festival centered in San Francisco.
The event features such events as interactive trivia, jeopardy and readings from authors at multiple venues in Austin, all for free. The Lit Crawl primarily centers on E 6th Street and the surrounding area and takes place at local bars and restaurants, such as The Volstead and The Liberty.
Although the Lit Crawl identifies itself as a type of pub crawl, certain events are open to all ages, such as a live reading by authors Adam Gidwitz, Michelle Knudson, and Danya Lorentz, young adult fiction writers, at the Texas State Cemetery.
The event kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and continues till 10:15 p.m. and serves as an interim between days of the Texas Book Festival.
