City Lights at 60: Literary Event Series | SF

San Francisco’s City Lights is perhaps one of the most well known bookstores in the country, if not the world. It was fertile ground for the Beat Generation and continues to serve as the cornerstone of the city’s literary community.

City Lights at 60 is a special series of anniversary events in the bookstore and throughout the city hosted by some of the editors, writers, artists, and friends of City Lights.
