RECOMMENDED EVENTS along the Southern Literary Trail and beyond...
 

THE SOUTHERN LITERARY TRAIL is a collaboration of eighteen towns from Natchez to Savannah that celebrate internationally renowned writers and playwrights who were inspired by uniquely southern places. The Trail maps your travel to a region that is home to great writers and timeless stories.

With loving gratitude to Patricia Neal Star of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and a Tony winner for "Another Part of the Forest" - In MemoriamDuring Trailfest 2009, every Trail community presented plays, movies, tours and panel discussions that explored masterworks of Southern Literature by the Trail's honored writers. The success of Trailfest 2009, as depicted in this special scrapbook, established the Southern Literary Trail as a permanent feature of the landscape in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

A tri-state celebration will return with TRAILFEST 2011 in February through May, 2011. As the schedule for Trailfest 2011 is announced on this website, make plans to attend the events in the schedule crawl and these celebrations:
