Storytelling Festival

celebrating the magic of storytellers

Celebrate the art of storytelling at this magical festival at Cravath Lakefront Park featuring stories through arts, crafts, tellers, and food!

Grab your imagination and join us in Whitewater, WI for our magical Whitewater Storytelling Festival! Engage with local and regionally-known storytellers, shop local artists’ and crafters’ booths, listen to live music, and enjoy creativity-inspiring activities with your kids!

Nestled in the beautiful and inspiring Kettle Moraine State Forest, Whitewater is home to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the Young Auditorium, and a robust artist community supported by the Whitewater Arts Alliance. Our community enjoys entertaining the region with world-class theater productions, innovative art exhibits, and a variety of musical offerings by university students, faculty, and locals alike.

We could not think of a better place to feature the magic of storytelling and our annual Whitewater Storytelling Festival! Stop for the day or stay for the weekend to take in the beauty of our Ice Age Trail community.
