The Word on the Lake Writers’ Festival opens Friday with a special café event.

On Friday evening, May 11, join the festival’s Café Lit for readings from authors, refreshments and a cash bar. Tickets are $20 at the door. A miscommunication in the Observer’s print calendar mistakenly listed this event as Saturday, but it will be a go for Friday night.

Saturday evening, it’s Shock Theatre hosted by Michael Slade, along with a dinner banquet. Tickets are $50 online or at Hidden Gems Bookstore.
