Heart & Hand: Tell Your Story

A special feature of the Heart & Hand Festival are the wonderful stories and musical performances presented by our guest storytellers and entertainers. 

Do you have a story to tell? Since Heart & Hand is a participatory event we’re inviting folks to bring a story. Put your name in the hat for a chance at the mic!

Here are the rules: Your story must be true, and it must be short. Two minutes is the maximum and there will be timers. And perhaps a gong, or a hook, but most certainly loads of fun for all. 

Polish up your best anecdote, time it, and come along to the music and storytelling tent at the Heart & Hand Festival.
