Festival Day

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2026 FESTIVAL HONOREE:

Tobias Wolff

The theme for this year, in honor of Tobias’s bestselling and award-winning memoir about his childhood, This Boy’s Life, is Growing Up Is Hard to Do.

This year’s festival will be on Saturday, October 24 at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland.

The festival day is the heart of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival. It occurs on a Saturday in the fall. This is an event not to be missed.

This full-day event features the honoree (the award winner), a keynote speaker, writing workshops, a bus tour, and more.

Registration is required. We look forward to seeing you there!
