At Lit Youngstown's annual Fall Literary Festival, we've been so honored to host thousands of readers, writers, educators, filmmakers, translators, playwrights, students, editors, program directors, artists, musicians and booksellers. While the Fall Fest will be on hiatus in 2026, we hope to come back in 2027 with a smaller festival celebrating the legacy of labor.

Thank you to everyone who made this event so meaningful for us. We are still formatting the 2025 images and will add them to our gallery soon. Dip into the gallery to see images from our first eight festivals.
