The National Storytelling Festival Revisited

Everyone loves listening to a good story. If you want to hear the best of the best stories and storytellers, sign up for the National Storytelling Festival held annually the first weekend of October in Jonesborough, Tennessee. I just returned from the 29th Festival — my 11th in a row — and I don’t know of a more delightful and exhilarating trip and event. The National Storytelling Festival was created in 1973 by Jimmy Neil Smith, a former journalism teacher and mayor of Jonesborough. His inspiration, quite simply, was a well-told tale heard over a car radio — a story told by Grand Ole Opry star Jerry Clower about hunting in Mississippi. Why not a storytelling festival? Smith wondered. For the first event, about 60 people gathered behind a wagon that served as a stage to listen to stories. Today, more than 10,000 people gather in gigantic tents for three days of practically non-stop storytelling. Every year I attend the Festival, I return home as a listener refreshed and inspired, and as a storyteller filled with ideas — not to copy the featured tellers, but to consider what worked for them and why. In this article I am going to share this year’s impressions and some of the ideas that are rumbling around in my storyteller’s head.
