Printers Row Lit Fest

Printers Row Lit Fest is the Midwest's largest free outdoor literary festival, taking over the historic Printers Row neighborhood in the South Loop. Booksellers, publishers, and authors fill the streets for a weekend of readings, panels, signings, and stalls stacked with new, used, and rare books.

What to expect

• Blocks of booksellers — new, used, and rare
• Author readings, panels, and signings
• Kids' activities and a children's stage
• Food vendors and a bookish street atmosphere

Good to know: Dearborn St, South Loop (Printers Row). Free to attend; books and food are pay-as-you-go. Bring a tote — you'll fill it.
