Anyone who knows Chicago knows about the Printers Row Lit Fest, an annual book fair and literary festival held each September. In 2019, the festival returned to its founder, the Near South Planning Board (NSPB), and the great tradition of hosting outdoor stages and tents, including one sponsored by the Poetry Foundation resumed. Over the decades, the event has grown into the largest Midwest book festival collecting some remarkable statistics; over 20 million visitors have attended the event, hundreds of authors have spoken, and millions of books have made their way onto the shelves of eager readers. We look forward to a splendid, robust and renewed bibliographic celebration with you in 2024!
