In 1996, a vision was born—a celebration of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless contributions to literature. Today, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Festival stands as a beacon of literary excellence, preserving the legacy of one of America’s greatest writers while embracing the best of contemporary voices.
For over two decades, the festival has been a haven for literary enthusiasts and scholars alike. By delving into Fitzgerald’s iconic works, we not only honor the past but inspire the future. The festival has become a cornerstone in fostering a love for literature, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and modernity.
Your support plays a pivotal role in preserving Fitzgerald’s rich literary contributions.

Donations enable us to maintain an extensive archive, host educational programs, and curate exhibitions that bring Fitzgerald’s world to life.
