OCTOBER 24, 2026
One of the most anticipated literary nights of the year, San Francisco's Lit Crawl is a massive, one-night literary pub crawl through San Francisco's Mission District that caps off our annual Litquake Festival. Lit Crawl SF brings together 250+ authors and close to 5,000 fans for the world’s largest free pop-up literary event.
Started in 2004, Lit Crawl cultivates a unique, resonant brand: smart and silly, worldly and wacky, with events presented in venues usual (bars, cafes, galleries, and bookstores) and unusual (tattoo parlors, barbershops, and laundromats).
