Punch Bucket Literary Festival

Punch Bucket Lit is a literary nonprofit based in West Asheville dedicated to supporting the literary community all across the country. Our first annual literary festival will kick off with an opening night Rapid Reading event featuring 15 writers and poets from Asheville and across the country. On day two, attendees will have the opportunity to choose from numerous literary panels/readings/workshops held in downtown Asheville, and explore the all-day book fair.
