The Morgantown Public Library System is proud to present StoryFest — a day of non-stop fun for people of all ages! Join us on Saturday, June 7th from 3:00-6:00pm at the Spruce Street Pavilion (located at 400 Spruce Street). Our festival celebrates storytelling in all its forms and this year, we’ve added a Renaissance Faire twist! StoryFest will be an evening filled with enchantment, including a live sword fighting demonstration, a chance to be knighted as an official StoryFest knight, and free crafting stations to design your own wands, crowns, and shields. Kids, teens, and adults are sure to find something to love at StoryFest!
Plus, be sure to stop by our Summer Reading Program table to register while at StoryFest!
For children, we will have a Storyteller’s Court with special guests including the West Virginia Black Bears Mascot, the Morgantown Fire Department, and the Aquatic Center Mermaid! We will also have a variety of free crafting tables provided by Early Head Start and the Morgantown Public Library System including design your own coat of arms, make an enchanted crystal, design a royal crown, and customize a wand!
For all ages, you can watch a live sword demonstration from Black Bear Historical Fencing, get a poem on the spot from the Bards of Yellowwood, complete a challenge to become an official knight of StoryFest, and enjoy delicious carnival style food from Mag & Pops food truck!
For the grown ups, there will be amazing creators to meet including the West Virginia Poet Laureate Marc Harshman, local authors Anna Smucker, Patricia Hopper Patterson, the Morgantown Writers Group, the Bards of Yellowwood, and local artists Liz Pavlovic and Angela Awesome Pants, as well as the Friends of Deckers Creek and Library IQ! There will also be free crafting areas, fun entertainment, neat library merch, and more!
