Tickets are now on sale for Hamptons Whodunit, The Hamptons Mystery & Crime Festival, which will be held April 13 to 16 in East Hampton Village.
The festival is the first of its kind on the East End to present all things mystery, thrillers, and crime. The festival will host a group of writers, true crime experts, filmmakers, and podcasters for the four-day extravaganza.
“East Hampton is home to a tremendous amount of talented mystery and thriller writers, true crime podcasters, and suspense filmmakers, so it is only natural that we host the first multimedia Mystery and Crime Festival. This is the first time that a festival will combine all the various platforms where people hunt for crime, and we know they will get their fix,” said East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen.
The festival kicks off with a cocktail party at the Maidstone Club. The following days will include panels, lectures, and interviews, with mystery, thriller, and crime writers. There will be a tour of the graveyard with the East Hampton Village Town Crier Hugh King. Guests can enjoy a book signing and tea, escape rooms and murder mystery games, and dinners with authors at a variety of restaurants.
The weekend will conclude with a farewell brunch, which includes a panel for aspiring writers with agents, editors, and authors.
