Litquake 2026: SF’s Literature Festival w/ 170+ Events + 600 Authors (Oct. 8-24)

At the height of the Litquake literary festival, the historic San Francisco Elks Lodge welcomes some of the strongest voices in Latino literature today.
Huizache Magazine—which has been called “the Paris Review of Latino Literature”—seeks to explode ethnic, gender and social stereotypes.

On October 14th, help them fete their fifth issue with readings by San Francisco’s Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguía, former Poet Laureate devorah major, fictionist Alia Volz, journalist Rúben Martínez, award-winning poet Lorna Dee Cervantes, and acclaimed novelist Dagoberto Gilb.

Musical guests, Sin Color, are preparing an acoustic set especially for this celebration.

Hosting Huizache is the historic San Francisco Elks Lodge, the oldest extant Elks Lodge in the country, established in 1873. Housed within The Kensington Park Hotel on fabulous Union Square in downtown San Francisco, this normally private club is honored to open its swanky doors to all guests for this unique multicultural event.

Cocktail reception begins at 6:30 pm, followed by readings and music from 7-9 pm. The newly minted Huizache will be available at a special price. All ages welcome.
