A FREE festival!

This year at the festival:

Writing Workshops (playwriting, poetry, artist's statements)

Readings, Q&A Sessions, Panels, and Storytelling

Programs for children

Bookmaking & Papermaking

All the Live-Long Daya look at the literature of work and what we do in our everyday lives

From food writers, to novelists who examine the mills, farms, and factories of North Carolina we hope to highlight examples of when the ordinary becomes art.

We invite you come to our home town--to a festival that includes novelists, poets, historians, journalists, and everyday people who enjoy stories, conversation, and a real good time.
