The two festivals will combine for the closing session, featuring a conversation with novelist Yaa Gyasi, with complementary programming throughout the day.

Other highlights include storytelling for children, craft projects, and discussions ranging from sportswriting and Shakespeare to quilting and ferreting out truth in an era of fake news.
