Deep Vellum Music & Literature Festival: Free Day Pass

The Deep Vellum Music & Literature Festival is a multi-day, multi-venue celebration that will bring voices from across Texas and around the world to audiences through literary readings, author panels, spoken word, live music performances, and community activations.

Based in the Deep Ellum cultural district in Dallas, Texas, this festival will expand well beyond the Deep Vellum bookstore, engaging major cultural venues across the neighborhood to celebrate the area’s rich music history and its ongoing drive to uplift the arts. Stages and venues include: Sons of Hermann Hall, Ruins, Undermain Theatre, Life in Deep Ellum, Kettle Art Gallery, Deep Ellum Art Co., AllGood Cafe, Poets Books, Deep Ellum Community Center, and Deep Vellum Books.

If you are not able to make it to the festival this year, but want to support the community programming work done by Deep Vellum, you can make a tax-deductible donation here.
