We're coming back to Hayward's downtown this year, Saturday, April 27th from 2-8pm on Independent Bookstore Day and National Poetry Month. The event was conceived and organized by a group of literary-minded volunteer community members and is free for all ages.We will post a detailed schedule and you can view a video from last year's event at: https://haywardlithop.com/
We'll begin at 2 pm at Heritage Plaza, a park across the street from the Downtown Hayward Public Library, with a welcome from Hayward local civic and literary leaders and a musical performance from the East Bay Symphonic Band. Next, the city of Hayward and the Hayward Public Library will announce Hayward's next poet laureate!
Then from 4-7 pm, we'll hop from place to place to different venues up and down on and near B Street to hear performances including the AfroSurreal Writers Workshop of Oakland, students from Chabot College, a bilingual Spanish/English reading, the Bay Area Queer Writers, local Horror Writers' and Mystery Writers' Association chapters, the Hayward Peer Writers' Group, Women Who Submit Lit, the East Bay Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers, the California Writers' Club, and students from CSUEB.
Venues include Books on B, the Odd Fellows Lodge, the Dirty Bird Lounge, the Pizza House, the Music Depot and The World Famous Turf Club. The event concludes with an afterparty at the Odd Fellows Lodge where we will have music, food and drinks.
This event aims to support local businesses, celebrate Hayward's diverse cultural scene, and allow people to meet their neighbors and see each other's talents. Also, to help people with an interest in writing or art find local groups to support and foster their talents.
