The Delta Mouth Literary Festival

The Delta Mouth Literary Festival is a three day celebration of the arts in Baton Rouge, free and open to the public. Since its first iteration in 2009, the festival has been a mainstay of the literary scene, bringing together writers from across Louisiana and the country. Organized and run by MFA students in LSU’s Creative Writing Program, Delta Mouth is also made possible by donations from local businesses, arts organizations, and ordinary people like you. Please consider donating so that we can continue to support our visiting authors and provide a fun filled weekend to the greater Baton Rouge community!

The 12th annual festival will be held at spaces across Baton Rouge from April 5th to 7th. This year’s events will feature readings and panels by nine acclaimed authors, music, food, drinks, and more!
