Program Description
Event Details
Get Lit! at the Dallas Public Library!
We're back and better than ever! Reignite your love for book fairs—this time with a grown-up twist!
Think retro nostalgia meets local lit culture: curated reads, quirky journals, swoon-worthy posters, and your favorite indie vendors all in one spot. Sip on specialty cocktail drinks, discover local authors, and treat yourself to a little bookish joy.
This is in partnership with the Dallas Public Library and Get Lit!
Since you can't get properly lit without a drink, drinks will be available at our From the Author's Taproom Bar.
Registration isn't required, but it helps ensure we have sufficient supplies from vendors.
