Our 2025 Festival Showreel
About Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival
For 40 years, TWFest has brought award-winning writers, historians, scholars, journalists, actors, musicians, and cultural experts together to present five days of literary revelry in New Orleans. And for over 20 years, we have also hosted the Saints & Sinners LGBTQ+ Literary Festival, which is held the same weekend.
Thousands of book and theatre lovers come to New Orleans from all over the country and abroad for our writer's craft sessions, literary panels, theatre events, literary walking tours, culinary events, author interviews, and music events. And don’t forget our Stella and Stanley Shouting Contest!
Our dates are always as close to Williams' birthday, March 26, as possible. Join us for our 2026 TWFest March 25 - 29 and SASFest March 27 - 29!
