Share Description
If you ever wanted to learn how to create your own podcast or to write in rhyme, to shape a well-loved tale to its telling or collect community stories, we have something for you. If you’d just like to listen, we have a children’s story hour, bedtime stories for grown-ups, and a number of curated concerts featuring local and national storytellers. If you are curious to learn about groups using story in your community, we will be showcasing the work of organizations across Minnesota. If you are eager to put all your newly acquired telling skills (from our plethora of wonderful workshops) to good use – we will be rounding off the week with an open story circle. There is all this and SO MUCH MORE planned for this year’s StoryFest.
