National Storytelling Festival

The International Storytelling Center will soon host its 52nd annual National Storytelling Festival. This renowned festival is widely regarded as the premier storytelling event in the country. What began in 1973 with a few folks gathered around a hay wagon in Courthouse Square has grown into a beloved tradition that draws 10,000 people to Jonesborough, TN, each year. Today, world-class tellers perform under big-top tents throughout town, captivating audiences in this one-of-a-kind storybook setting. If you love good Appalachian stories, this is the event for you.
