We are presenting a virtual National Storytelling Festival this October so you can still experience the world-class storytelling you have come to know and love from the comfort of your home. You can enjoy 20+ hours of storytelling over Festival weekend with continued viewing access for 14 days following the final show.

Space at the newly renovated International Storytelling Center (ISC) is now available for rent for your special events, including weddings, parties, retreats, presentations, meetings, and conferences. Our facilities include the 14,000-square foot Mary B. Martin Hall, the surrounding plaza and courtyard, and a three-acre park that skirts the grounds.  Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains in the state’s oldest town, ISC’s scenic surroundings include tree-lined streets and traditional brick sidewalks. Our facilities are located along Main Street, a well-preserved thoroughfare with quaint shops, historic homes, and cozy bed & breakfasts.
