Get Lit in Lunenburg

The Lunenburg Lit Festival is a celebration of storytelling on the South Shore.
There’s no better way to get inside a storyteller’s head than have them read to you.
Join us to enjoy world-class literary presentations, Q&As, and stories, in historic Lunenburg.

Thank You to our 2o25 Supporters!
