What started in 1999 as an afternoon of readings at the Edinburgh Castle pub in Golden Gate Park grew to include the wider Bay Area literary scene and in 2002 became Litquake, a nine-day festival with national and international authors, youth programs, classroom visits, book giveaways, renowned authors talks, poetry readings, storytelling nights, interactive workshops, and much more held at the different venues all over the city.
It all ends on the closing night with the traditional Lit Crawl roving party through the Mission. Localized editions of the Lit Crawl are held every year in various cities around the world. Litquake is organized by the nonprofit Litquake Foundation.
