Spirit of Athens Storytelling Festival

Imagine a crisp October weekend sitting with friends and family under a shady canopy situated on the historic courthouse square in downtown Athens, Alabama listening to stories of adventure and excitement - a place where memories and magic are captured and spun into tales that make you laugh and cry. Hear stories that tell of a time that used to be, of folk in distant lands or the people next door. Glimpse into the past and live the imaginary. Learn more about your parents, your children, and yourself. Five of the nation's best storytellers will share their life, legends and lies.
