Pasadena's Central Park will be the scene for the second annual Pasadena LitFest, Saturday, May 11, from 10 AM-5 PM.
"LitFest Pasadena 2.0" will feature more than 75 authors, storytellers, performers, and exhibitors for a day that will explore an eclectic mix of subjects such as Southern California surf culture, local history, children’s and young adult literature, and more.
Among the confirmed guests will be Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold; the Bob Baker Marionettes; and History Lit, a project of Unbound Productions, which puts on WIcked Lit at the Mountain View Mausoleum on Halloween.
Participating authors with an Altadena bent include Naomi Hirahara (whose detective, Mas Arai, is an Altadena gardener); novelists Michelle Huneven and Jervey Tervalon; and local historian Michele Zack.
Parking is available on the street or at various public lots. LitFest has something for the whole family, and admssion is free.
