Beacon LitFest is a small, high-quality literary festival now entering its seventh year. The Beacon LitFest aims to connect diverse, award‑winning writers with engaged audiences in the Hudson Valley. We hold a three‑day festival each June featuring author talks, panels, workshops, and other literary events. Community programming throughout the year includes reading groups, public lectures, writing intensives, and collaborations with local arts and culture organizations. We also hope to grow a digital archive documenting festival events and regional literary culture.

Our goal is to grow and create a sustainable literary presence in the Hudson Valley and bring lovers of great reading and writing together!
