Walker Percy Weekend Tickets: One Left SOLD OUT!

A note to readers who are on the fence about whether or not to come to the Walker Percy Weekend on June 6-8: we are about to sell out. We have only nine all-in-one tickets left, which gives you access to both evening dinners, as well as the panel discussions. Once these are gone, they’re gone. We anticipate selling dinner tickets and bourbon walk single tickets for another week or so, but when those last nine all-in-one tickets sell, the lectures/panel discussions, which take up most of the daytime events on Saturday, will be full.

There’s still lots to do in West Feliciana on that Saturday if you can’t get into the panels. For example, there are a number of antebellum plantations here, including Oakley, where John James Audubon lived and taught, and there will be a self-guided tour of Percy family landmarks. Still, if you want the whole megillah, there are only nine tickets left.

Get them online here. 

UPDATE: As of today, Thursday morning, there is a single all-in-one ticket left. We have 30 tickets left for the Friday night crawfish boil, 30 left for the front porch bourbon walk, and 32 left for the Saturday night cochon de lait. Everything else is sold out. Sold out! We organizers are stunned and grateful. We were so afraid that we would have trouble getting people to come. There’s so much love for Walker Percy, all over the country (and even in the UK; one festivalgoer is coming in from there), that the inaugural Walker Percy Weekend will be a huge hit. The two venues we’ve set aside for the panel discussions — the old Temple Sinai, and the old Courthouse — are not small rooms, and both will be filled to capacity with folks who want to hear smart people talk about Walker Percy and his ideas.

There will be books for sale. There will be Win Riley’s great Percy documentary. And there will be crawfish, and cold beer,  and grilled oysters, and roasted pork, and bourbon — my goodness, will there be bourbon — and Southern hospitality, and conviviality and conversation and every good thing.

I. Can’t. Wait.

UPDATE.2: We are officially sold out. Tickets are still available for the crawfish boil on Friday night, and the cochon de lait on Saturday night, but we’re reaching capacity on those too, and quickly. If you’re coming, don’t delay buying tickets.
