2011 Season
Thurber House is pleased to offer the 26th season of outdoor picnics and readings with authors who have an Ohio connection. Please join us on the Thurber House lawn for five evenings of good friends, good food, and great books.
Each Literary Picnic runs as follows:
5:20 p.m. — Our Young Docents (pre-teen and teenage tour guides) offer guided tours of Thurber House. Please note: tours are not offered on evenings when we are at our rain site.
6:15 p.m. — Dinner is served. Order one of our delicious dinners, made fresh by Party Panache catering, or bring your own. If you’d like to order dinner from us, please make your reservation by 4:00 p.m. on the Monday before each Picnic.
7:00 p.m. — The reading begins. Thurber House remains open after the reading for touring, book buying, and signing.
Please bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. You are also welcome to bring alcoholic beverages. Parking on Jefferson Avenue is metered. The lots behind Thurber House and at the corner of Jefferson and Long are free. All picnics are held at Thurber House, 77 Jefferson Ave. In case of rain, join us at State Auto Insurance, 518 E. Broad Street for all picnics except July 20, which will be Thurber Center, 91 Jefferson Avenue.
