Litquake turns 25!

Litquake’s 2024 festival kicked off with the Booksellers Ball on Thursday the 10th, an opening night bash at Club Fugazi in North Beach when the Litquake community came together to fête San Francisco’s independent bookstores. It was a catered event with abundant libations and a sizzling lineup of literature-themed drag performances hosted by Joe Wadlington of Happy Endings, a.k.a Jubilee!

With festive grooves from Bff.fm DJ Lead Teddy and a reading nook curated by 17 of San Francisco’s best independent booksellers — including Glen Park’s own Bird & Beckett — folks kicked up your heels with local literati and celebrated 25 years of Litquake!
