A Lit Summer Night

​​Cleveland’s hottest party for writers and readers returns for its fourth year, in a new and exciting venue! Literary folks of all kinds will be out in force on Saturday, June 1, from 6-10 PM. So you better save that date!
We’ll gather at the Harcourt Manor, a spectacular venue for this extraordinary evening of fun, food, and friendship. Listen to unique Cleveland voices in the speakeasy-style bar downstairs. Wander outside to the terraces, pergola seating and waterfall. Explore the elegant first floor to dine on a vast array of delectables. And of course, mix and mingle with members of Northeast Ohio’s rich and eclectic literary community.

Activities include:

• A VIP Tour of the manor (VIP tickets needed)
• A silent auction and loaded raffle baskets featuring products by local vendors and businesses
• Writers-for-hire (writers TBA)
• Eli Hanley’s Jazz Trio from Oberlin College

As in years past, this exceptional party will support the mission of Literary Cleveland to create and nurture a vibrant literary arts community in Northeast Ohio.
