Part author’s festival, part family reunion, the Monroeville Literary Festival, held every year in the courtroom made famous by To Kill a Mockingbird, is a great excuse to enjoy “Monroeville’s famous brand of hospitality.” This long-running literary festival brings Alabama’s literary community together over a long weekend in Monroeville for “captivating readings, enlightening discussions, [and] amusing conversations.” This year’s lineup includes 2026 Harper Lee Award Winner Ace Atkins and Capote Prize Winner Patricia Foster.

Even in the most eccentric of homes, family bonds and the familiar comforts of “home” take center stage. This classic comedy reminds us that home is where our quirks are celebrated and where even the most unexpected surprises await. In this case, they await our hero, Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, murderous family and local police in Brooklyn, New York, all while debating whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves.
