Succeed2gether’s Montclair Literary Festival is an annual event in celebration of reading and literacy which takes place in late March every year. The festival is a fundraiser for Montclair-based non-profit Succeed2gether, which offers after-school one-on-one tutoring and enrichment classes with the aim of closing the education opportunity gap in Essex County. Succeed2gether will be offering four weeks of free summer camp programs to low-income families. You can read more about Succeed2gether and the festival at www.succeed2gether.org.
