Lit Crawl San Francisco 2026: Full Schedule

One of the most anticipated literary nights of the year, Lit Crawl San Francisco is a massive, one-night literary pub crawl through San Francisco’s Mission District on Saturday, October 25th from 5:00-9:00pm. Join us to cap off another great festival, and don’t miss out on the afterparty at Drawing Room Annex!

ATTENTION: We’ve turned off the My Schedule tool as Sched has changed its pay structure recently and it’s no longer feasible for us to use. No RSVPs are necessary, just show up! Seating + space are first come, first serve. Sorry for the confusion!

Invisible City: Letters from the Wilderness

Saturday October 24, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm PDT

St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church

You haven’t heard from these writers before, but they have a lot to say. Their words—powerful, tender, upsetting, funny, real—reveal the invisible city whose streets we all share. Writers from the Gubbio Gazette, a literary journal created by unhoused people in the Mission, will read their work in the church courtyard where they meet every week. Take home copies of Vol. 1 and 2.
