Wordstock 2015, run by Literary Arts, consisted of a full day (9am to 2am) of events geared toward readers and writers alike: readings, author talks, writing workshops, a book fair, book signings, a Lit Crawl, and an after party.

In the evening the festivities moved to the east side of the river for the Lit Crawl and the after party.
