Join us for the 6th Annual Kulturally LIT Fest — formerly Elm City LIT Fest — a dynamic celebration of Black literature, art, and cultural power. This year’s theme, “The Year of X,” honors the legacies of Malcolm X and Medgar Evers, two revolutionary leaders whose vision, sacrifice, and radical love continue to shape our struggles for justice and liberation.
The 2025 festival will center Black storytelling through powerful panels, workshops, music, vendors, and interactive art. We’ll explore the enduring impact of Malcolm and Medgar across generations.
We'll also be announcing the next Poet Laureate!!!
Nominations are open through June 30th.

Whether you're a book lover, a budding writer, an artist, or a freedom dreamer, this festival is for you. Come experience the power of Black literature, legacy, and community.
VENDOR APPLICATION: https://www.kulturallylit.org/vendors
**Only open to book/literary vendors, authors, publishers for now** General vendors will be accepted later if space allows.
