Lit Crawl 2013, spread over more than three hours, will host live readings of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and more in bookstores, bars, art galleries, restaurants, stores, cafés, a bowling alley, community spaces, and even a police station on Saturday, October 19, 2013.

In one night there’s 83 events showcasing over 500 authors & poets.

Watch them take over Clarion Alley (right under the eyes of the Mission Police Station) for outdoor readings and performances. All Lit Crawl readings are free and open to the public (although some venues are 21 and over).
