Heard any good stories lately?

Steel City Stories is a way of sharing experiences, listening to voices from our community and connecting with others through the lost art of storytelling.

Join us for an engaging evening featuring stories from folks within the Hamilton community. Relax with some local refreshments, and listen to speaker’s spin on our theme for the night – Brushes With Greatness – as they get up on stage and tell stories from their own lives with no notes or props.

See you on November 2nd!

Speakers to be announced shortly!

Featuring goodies from the Cake+Loaf and Red Hill Coffee.

If you’ve never been to a storytelling event visit themoth.org and download a podcast or two of a story told at one of their live shows here. The Moth has been around since 1997 and is a good example of an established storytelling event that is inclusive, diverse and highly entertaining.

Steel City Stories is back this November!
