National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee
October 3-5, 2025
Books and Arts and Ladies of Leisure are teaming up to plan a trip to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee the weekend of October 3-5. We will drive to Jonesborough on Friday when the storytelling begins and return home on Sunday. Jonesborough, the oldest town in Tennessee, is a 3+ hour drive from Greensboro. Tents are set up around this picturesque town to provide a fun place to hear tales you will laugh and weep over. We will stay in nearby, Greeneville, Tennessee and have dinner together on Friday and Saturday. It is a down-to-earth, entertaining weekend.
Here is a link to the festival: https://www.storytellingcenter.net/festival/main/
Adult tickets are $190 for 3 days and senior tickets, $175. We suggest waiting to purchase tickets. You may even decide to purchase them on site.
We have reserved 6 rooms at the Hampton Inn in Greeneville about a 30 minute drive from Jonesborough. Each room has 2 queen beds and costs for $461.72 for 2 nights.
We hope you will decide to join us for a beautiful fall weekend in gorgeous East Tennessee. Or, it could rain. But that’s lovely, too.
Please think about this! We hope you decide soon to join us, but we have until mid-September to finalize the number of rooms needed It’s a wonderful fall outing. Let us hear.
