The Printers Row Lit Fest, the Midwest’s largest outdoor literary festival, returns this weekend — and the Midland Authors will be there.
Stop by our spot — Tent V, located on Dearborn Street about halfway between Harrison and Polk Streets — where some of our members will be selling and autographing their books throughout the weekend. (Click here to see a map of the festival.)
Admission is free to the festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Chicago’s Printers Row neighborhood — on Dearborn Street from Ida B. Wells Drive to Polk Street, and on Polk Street between Clark Street and Plymouth Court.
Visit the Printers Row Lit Fest website for a schedule of speakers and presentations. All events are free — tickets are not required. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
