The 2024 festival schedule is live!
Check out the full schedule now! The fall festival showcases the extraordinary range of talent across the Windham-Campbell Prizes with a series of thought-provoking lectures, panel discussions, workshops, and performances from this year’s recipients. The festival also features a keynote lecture by internationally renowned writer and translator Lydia Davis and the return of our annual kick-off event: a welcome party with free food and music at our College Street Tent.
This year the festival kicks off on Tuesday, September 17 at 5:00 PM with a welcome party on Cross Campus. There will be free food from Big Green Truck Pizza, Pitaziki, Taquería Tlaxcala, and Sweet Cupcasions, as well as music by Yale’s own DJ VNA.
The fun continues on Wednesday, September 18 with a keynote lecture by internationally renowned writer and translator Lydia Davis, followed by two full days of celebrating books and writers with performances, panels, workshops, close looking sessions, and much more.
(If you’re not local, we’ll be livestreaming the lecture on our YouTube channel. Many events, including the lecture, will be recorded and posted following the festival.)
On September 19 and 20, festival programming begins each day at 10:00 AM in our tent on Cross Campus. Join us for coffee, breakfast treats, book giveaways, and, from 10:30 AM, a series of informal conversations with the prize recipients hosted by Yale Review senior editor Sam Huber.
The full schedule, including event descriptions and participant information, is available now at windhamcampbell.org. (This is also where any last-minute updates and weather-related location changes will be posted.)
As always: all events are free and open to the public!
