Dallas Is Lit! Festival Passes

In 2024, we notice that a lot of people were attending multiple events over the course of the festival; in fact, nearly 2 out of 3 attendees attended at least 2 events. We loved seeing familiar faces returning to the festival: whether at Javier Zamora and then the Anniversary Reception; or Hear Me See Me, and the Dallas Poetry Slam Showcase, plus Lit Fusion; or swinging through the book fair and then the Common Language Project reading.
We want Dallas Is Lit! to be an unforgettable experience, and we also want to show some love to our biggest supporters, so in 2025, we're thrilled to announce the first ever Dallas Is Lit! Literati Festival Passes.
These limited edition passes (available in Standard and VIP packages) put you at the heart of festival activities, including:
  • discounted ticket costs
  • Dallas Is Lit! raffle tickets
  • limited edition, collectible Literati Festival Pass badge
  • swag
  • and more!
Check out the options below and get yours, but hurry; quantities are limited, and once they're gone, they're gone!
