37th ANNUAL SIERRA STORYTELLING FESTIVAL
June 28th & 29th, 2024
The North Columbia Schoolhouse will be celebrating 37 years of the fabulous Sierra Storytelling Festival giving our community ample time to marinate on great stories until then!
“Sierra Storytelling Festival is a dream for any storyteller/performer. Performing on stage under a ceiling of tree canopies, crisp sails, and blue skies; a warm and welcoming audience; delicious food and craft beer".
Once upon a time, children’s author, poet, and storyteller, with the North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center to create the first ever Sierra Storytelling Festival. Set among the towering pines, sloping lawn and our historic one-room schoolhouse on Columbia Hill, the Sierra Storytelling Festival is now in its 30th year – a much-loved annual tradition for both locals and visitors from across the country.
Known as “The Queen of Storytelling Festivals”, the festival brings a line-up of talented, nationally recognized storytellers to the Schoolhouse stages. People have told stories since the beginning of time and our storytellers keep the tradition alive, voicing the narratives of life, our histories, and traditions, our reasons for living, our hopes and dreams.
If you enjoy listening to a good story, this is the event for you. Our storytellers will entertain listeners of all ages with tales from around the world and close to home. bring friends and family and picnic on the lawn, slow down, turn off the phone and soak in the stories of world-class tellers.
