More than 50 events throughout the Metro area will entertain a variety of different audiences, including senior citizens, school children and families. The flagship event, the 2014 Storytelling Spectacular, will be held from 7-9pm on November 8 at the KC Public Library-Plaza Branch and is free and open to the public!

Since its inception in 1999, the Kansas City Storytelling Celebration has grown every year, serving more than 20,000 people metro-wide. New sites and school districts continue to join the event. Culturally diverse tellers, both local and national, encourage a positive dialogue about the similarities – not the diffrerences – between all races, religions and economic statuses.

What kind of stories? The Storytelling Celebration features narratives and experiences from all genres, from "Afrilachian" tales to folklore from the jungles of Brazil to silly songs and quirky humor. Fantastic legends and Mexican folklore, stories for children and adults alike, all share the spotlight to bring the audience a unique understanding of the world at large and of their own lives.
