The inaugural StoryFest was held in June 2019 and was an instant success. Attracting 580 patrons who bought more than 800 tickets, it instantly garnered a reputation with the storytelling community, that StoryFest was a welcoming place to come, and a brilliant festival to be part of. 

After a false start in 2020 due to the early impact of Covid, StoryFest 2021 snuck in before a nationwide lockdown, much to the relief of the organising committee and the delight of storytellers and audiences. The event doubled in size on almost every metric, creating a brilliant platform for the future of StoryFest. 

In 2023, StoryFest grew by more than 50% on its previous festival and featured: 

• 60+ storytellers  

• 11 venues

• 1800 attendees  

• 3000 ticket sales 

• 2700 school students across all 5 schools in our catchment

2025 is set to be even bigger with bringing all forms of storytelling to the Milton-Ulladulla-Mollymook area across the four-day festival from the 19th to 22nd June, 2025.  We look forward to welcoming you to StoryFest 2025!
