Get Lit! Festival 2025
The Get Lit! Festival, Washington State’s longest-running annual literary festival, which has grown over the last 27 years from a single day of readings to, historically, a week-long celebration of literature. Get Lit! is currently a four-day festival, Thursday through Sunday, which includes full days of readings, writing workshops, craft classes, panel discussions, literary happy hours, virtual events, a book fair, and more— all offered for free or at low-cost. Each festival brings a diverse lineup of highly sought-after authors to our region, while also celebrating our local literary talent.
