The Tennessee Williams Literary Festival
to
French Quarter Decatur Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116
The Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival returns, presenting the fortieth annual celebration of the city's astonishing literary legacy. The five-day fête offers a range of diverse speakers and performers, most of whom will shout "Stella" with enough encouragement.
Most events (far too numerous to detail here, but which range from master classes and walking tours to theatre, food, and musical offerings) will take place in the French Quarter. Ticket prices vary depending on the activities or combination thereof. tennesseewilliams.net for all the details.
