Don't miss this fantastic piece in The Signpost highlighting the 30th anniversary of the WSU Storytelling Festival!

Weber State welcomed local school children and the surrounding community to celebrate the magic of stories at the 30th WSU Storytelling Festival from March 9–12.

Once upon a time... Earlier this month, 849 Ogden School District students had the opportunity to attend the WSU Storytelling Festival thanks to funding from the Ogden School Foundation! Now in its 30th year, the Storytelling Festival brings some of the best national storytellers, local storytellers, and youth storytellers from local school districts together to celebrate literacy, culture, the arts, and (of course!), the power of a good story! We're proud of the Ogden School District students who performed and are grateful for our OSD Library Program district librarians for organizing this event. And they all lived happily ever after!

🎤✨ The heart of our festival: Youth Voices ✨🎤

Every year, 60–70 incredible youth tellers are invited to participate in the Weber State Storytelling Festival, selected for their outstanding performances at school festivals across the Weber State service region.

These talented young storytellers bring courage, creativity, humor, and heart to the stage — and their stories inspire us year after year.

School-age students and families are encouraged to connect with their local schools for more information about becoming a future Youth Teller.

🎉 We can’t wait to welcome our Youth Tellers in just three short days!

Join us March 9–12 to experience the magic of young voices sharing powerful stories — all events are FREE!
