This live literature takeover transforms the city's central business district into a hub for storytelling and performance, utilizing a range of unique and intimate local spaces.

The 2026 program includes 20 specific events designed to showcase the voices of local writers. These sessions are distributed throughout various venues, allowing attendees to move between different locations to experience a variety of literary perspectives. Each individual event within the crawl is ticketed at an affordable rate to encourage broad participation from the community.
