The Danville Storytelling Festival is a family-oriented event that acts as an “artistic social bridge” - bringing communities together and celebrating how we are all connected using the rich tradition of storytelling, performances, and activism. Storytellers, also known as “Griots,” perform different styles of storytelling, collectively creating a multi-cultural and generational experience.
Rural life is not a monolith. The Danville Storytelling Festival uplifts the unique experience of rural folks and beyond -through the art of storytelling. An event that welcomes and supports Queer, Black, and BIPOC folks—turning this community space into a hub for acknowledgment, existence, and centering.
