San Francisco Story Fest premieres at the Herbst Theatre this Saturday, July 19th!

The stories are bold and surprising. This year’s theme is No Small Wind is Blowing, stories about migration, transition, and the invisible forces that inspire movement. These are not conventional stories. There are stories that have travelled from remote villages and local neighborhood haunts. There are stories about perfume as a portal to the past, the distances travelled for forbidden love, stories about betrayal and redemption. Change is in the wind.

We suggest reserving tickets today. This event is picking up steam and is shaping up to be unforgettable and sold out!

SF Story Fest is sponsored by the Knight Foundation with support from MoAd, W San Francisco, and Fort Point Beer.
