We’re still looking through the feedback forms and tallying attendance at the various sessions, but it’s already obvious that StoryFest 2025 on April 5 was a resounding success! Members of the community, professional storytellers, and aspiring tellers came together at the Bloomington Center for the Arts for a full day and evening of story-focused learning, listening, and sharing.
We couldn’t have produced a free event of such quality and variety without the support of our sponsors. A BIG THANK YOU to our generous heros! May they all live happily ever after!

Just as important will be folks who can volunteer to brainstorm and plan or to help with creative marketing and community outreach.
