Azalea Storytelling Festival

The Azalea Storytelling Festival, held annually the first full weekend in March, is a vibrant celebration of storytelling that has been bringing together regional and national storytellers for over 25 years. Founded in 1997 by three local women and supported by renowned storyteller Donald Davis, the festival has grown from a single event to a year-round series of storytelling activities that engage and inspire communities.

This year, we are delighted to have Donald Davis, Josh Goforth, Michael Reno Harrell, and Sheila Arnold as our tellers, and Carol Cain as our festival emcee!
