We're Coming Downtown in 2022!

Today's big news is that we will be bringing the festival to downtown Columbia next April! We'll be taking over all manner of cool and interesting venues in and around the District to present next year's crop of world-class poets and writers. You'll get all the usual enthralling readings, mind-expanding panels, and riveting conversations - only now you'll have the convenience of being downtown, too.

Stephens College has been our home since we began the festival in 2016, and we all have so many wonderful memories there over the years - and it's safe to say that without the incredible support of Stephens President, Dr. Dianne Lynch, Unbound probably never would have happened at all. We are sad to bid the beautiful campus goodbye, but are also excited by the next chapter that awaits us.

We can't wait to see you again - in person!
