Noe Valley Word Weekend 2023

Announcing Noe Valley Word Weekend 2023!

Word Week was founded in 2007 as a project of Friends of Noe Valley, the neighborhood association, and the Friends of Noe Valley continues to support Word Weekend as a sponsor. Currently, Word Weekend is organized by neighborhood residents and Folio Books staff. Noe Valley Word Weekend's intentions are to celebrate the power and effect of words, to showcase local talent from Noe Valley and the surrounding neighborhoods, and provide the community with interesting and enjoyable free literary events that spark the imagination.

We are very excited that Bethany United Methodist Church is able to graciously host all three of the below events! All events are FREE. Masks required.
