NEW! Storytelling Meetup

About this event

We're celebrating the 11th Annual Menlo Park Storytelling Festival. This evening, drop in to be immersed in a world of wonder, in our new monthly event! You’re invited to share stories, hear stories, and build community, during an open gathering of storytellers and listeners. Tell—or just listen! For decades, the **Southbay Storytellers and Listeners** have shared the art of storytelling and developed new tellers.

Adults and families are welcome! **Styles of stories shared:** * Ancient lore and modern adaptations * Oral histories and personal true stories * Fables old and new * Satire - Parody * Folk tales from many cultures — bilingual storytelling is welcome Anyone may offer to tell a story, singly or in tandem.
