Come hear great stories, and learn to tell your own, at Everybody’s Got a Story, a free storytelling festival in Hampton July 18-20. Join us for entertainment and for tips on telling your own story! The festival features both nationally recognized storytelling artists and newer local storytellers. This third annual festival is organized by area storytelling professionals, run by enthusiastic volunteers, and led by Janice (Jay) Johnson, a native of Hampton. Jay began her storytelling career in 2018 and will be performing during the festival.
