Mesmerizing. Captivating. Dramatic. If you have never experienced the
on-stage performance of storytelling, you owe it to yourself and your family
to join us for The Storytelling Festival of Carolina, an annual event held
this year from April 23 – 25.
The festival begins on a Friday evening at the Storytelling Arts Center of
the Southeast at 131 South Main Street, in Laurinburg. There, visitors can
preview each of the festival’s featured national and regional tellers in an
olio program. (This event is free if you have a weekend ticket!)
On Saturday morning, the scene changes to the John Blue House and Grounds.
Get ready to be utterly spellbound for two days as internationally renowned
and honored performers spin their magic and touch every emotion from
laughter to horror to tears. (Yes, they’re that good.) Best of all, while
our event has become a highlight in the world of storytelling (drawing
performers and spectators from all over the globe), we have kept the
intimate setting that assures you will be one with the performers.
This festival also offers food, crafts, and resources for the storyteller’s
art. And on Saturday night? A shuttle is ready to take you to wine tasting
and music at Cypress Bend Vineyards in Wagram. If you have any energy left,
tour the John Blue House and discover another world.
Pre-festival pricing ranges from $30 for adults to $8 for children. Family
packages and single day ticket are also available.
