Organizers hope to reschedule this fall
Since 2011, USC Union has hosted the Upcountry Literary Festival, celebrating authors from South Carolina and throughout the southeast. This year’s event was scheduled for March 17-18 in the auditorium at USC Union, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it has had to be postponed. They hope to reschedule the event for this fall.
USC Union English professor Randy Ivey began the festival to accentuate the continuing relevance of the written word in the digital age. It was initially aimed at young people to try and get them back into the habit of reading books, but the event is open to booklovers of all ages. The festival was canceled in 2020 due to COVID and had a virtual presence in 2021.
When the rescheduled dates are announced, we will let you know.
