ANNOUNCING THE DEEP VELLUM MUSIC & LITERATURE FESTIVAL

July 10-12, 2026, Deep Vellum will launch the inaugural Deep Vellum Music & Literature Festival, a multi-day, multi-venue celebration.

Through literary readings, author panels, spoken word, live music performances, and community activations this festival will bring voices from across Texas and around the world. 

Based in the Deep Ellum cultural district in Dallas, Texas, this festival will expand well beyond our bookstore, engaging major cultural venues across the neighborhood to celebrate the area’s rich music history and its ongoing drive to uplift the arts. Stages and venues include: Sons of Hermann Hall, Ruins, Undermain Theatre, Life in Deep Ellum, Kettle Art Gallery, and Poets Books, with more to come. 

Headliners to be announced soon. 

Our 13 years as nonprofit literary arts organization and publisher have shown us how the arts can connect global cultures and bring comfort, clarity, and community. We are honored to host a festival that welcomes both Dallasites and guests from around the world to come together and let literature and music be a balm and a buoy. 

Events will be indoors, so come escape the Texas heat with us this summer.
