World Storytelling Day

About

World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of storytelling with a goal of getting as many people as possible - around the world - telling and listening to stories on the same theme, at the same time. The event has been held annually since 2003, and traditionally takes place on or around the March equinox. Storytellers of New Mexico brings World Storytelling Day to New Mexico each year as one of our organization’s flagship events.
