The Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival returns to the French Quarter for the annual celebration of contemporary literature, culture, theater, and the works of Tennessee Williams. More than a typical book festival, TWNOLF usually showcases award-winning writers, actors, musicians, and other artists in over 150 events in the French Quarter and other New Orleans venues. Literary walking tours, book talks, music events, culinary events, literary panels, theatre events, and much more will come together for the five days of Williams-inspired revelry. Tickets when they're available and the full schedule of events at tennesseewilliams.net.
