On July 6th, Uptown Oakland’s Beast Crawl will hold its second annual literary "pub" crawl, a free festival featuring more than 125 writers in a single night, spread out over three hours and 25 local galleries, bars, restaurants, cafés, and storefronts, including the Uptown, Duende, Telegraph Beer Garden, Awaken Café, Farley's East, Era Art Bar & Lounge, Café RandeVu, The Punchdown, The Layover Lounge, and many more.
Last year’s event, the first of its kind in the East Bay, was a huge success. More than 25 different reading events in one evening brought 1500 audience members into the heart of the burgeoning bohemia that is uptown and downtown Oakland; the New York Times #5 destination on its list of The Top 45 Places to Go for a second consecutive year.
To curate more than two dozen readings for Beast Crawl, we are again inviting a diverse collection of local reading series producers and literary rock stars including Tourettes Without Regrets, Oakland Local, PAWA, Saturday Night Special, Quiet Lightning, East Bay on the Brain, Anger Management, Lyrics & Dirges, Rad Dad, Kelsey Street Press, and many more.
The name “Beast Crawl” derives from the Pig Latin for Beast, which is East Bay, symbolized by the classic Oakland image of the giant cranes that stalk our shore. We think every city should have its own literary crawl, and Beast Crawl is just what Oakland needs, to showcase its own unique literary identity.
