For
25 years, the Bay Area Storytelling Festival has brought the finest
storytelling to the San Francisco Bay Area. Every May, stories
whisper and shout through the East Bay hills, alive with personal
drama, folk and fairy tales, epics and song. Nationally celebrated
performers lead you far from home, through laughter and tears, deep
into new cultures, and face to face with yourself. Discover the world
within the towering trees and rolling hills of Kennedy Grove, just a
short drive from the Bay Bridge.
Celebrations & Surprises
Let's celebrate! For twenty-five years,
we’ve shared remarkable storytellers from across the country and
the world. Six of those wonderful artists return for our anniversary.
But that’s not all. Surprise guests will stop by. We’ll
play traditional picnic games like an egg toss (careful!), dance to
music drifting over the lawns, and maybe even join an impromptu chorus.
After whooping and hollering, stroll to the amphitheatre for a Picnic
Supper Storytelling Concert. Bring a picnic or visit our food vendors,
throw down a blanket and listen to stories as the wind rises and hawks
wheel overhead.
