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.
During 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:
The Tennessee Williams Tribute and Tour of Victorian Homes
in Columbus, Ms., from September 6 to 12, 2010, honors the
playwright in his hometown with programs, tours, and receptions.
