Stories are a rainbow of colors. Funny. Moving. Historical. Musical. Personal. Traditional. And every storyteller brings a different voice and a different way of seeing the world.

The Corn Island Storytelling Festival celebrates them all.

Support your local storytellers year-round.
Attend their programs. Share their events. Invite them to perform. And most of all, keep listening.

Because stories only stay alive when someone is there to hear them.
