The Midwest’s largest free outdoor literary festival returns this September for its 40th year. Book lovers can browse offerings from more than 150 booksellers and exhibitors, while six stages and over 200 presenters deliver programming for all ages. While the full lineup is still under wraps, this year's festival will be headlined by Sandra Cisneros—author of The House on Mango Street and recipient of the 2025 Harold Washington Literary Award.
