Storytelling …. it is a universal art found in all cultures of the world. It engages, educates, and entertains all ages and ethnicities. It’s like a comedy club, a concert, and a dash of drama all rolled into one.

This year’s Storyfest features headliners Leeny Del Seamonds, Kelly Swanson, Logie Meachum and Cynthia Brown. The event will take place in the Downtown Cultural District on Saturday, May 19 from 10 am to 5 pm.  Look for performers at Cultural Center, Festival Park, Children's Museum Barn, and Greensboro Public Library.

All events are free. Sponsors for the Friday evening kick-off include: Downtown Greensboro Inc., NC Storyfest, Rhyne’s Corner Cupboard, 2ArtChicks, Artmongerz and Natty Greene’s Brewing Co.

NC Storyfest is Co-Sponsored by Family Life Council, Greensboro City Arts, Greensboro Children’s Museum, Greensboro Historical Museum, Downtown Greensboro Inc, Greensboro Public Library, Guilford Native American Association, North Carolina Storytelling Guild, and the University Speaking Center- UNCG.
