Countdown the days with us!

Local Musicians, Local Authors, Local Storytellers
The rich tradition of telling stories has been part of humankind as long as there has been language. Today, there has been a renaissance in stories told in a personal, authentic way, bringing people together to remind us of our shared experience.
Storytelling, whether in spoken or musical form, is an art form that preserves our history, celebrates diversity, and perpetuates important elements of the human experience in an entertaining, engaging form.
We welcome you to the first annual Amelia Island Festival of Stories & Songs! You’ll find a wonderful variety of styles and content, from nationally known performers who will make you laugh, cry, and think, as well as local favorites who will share the rich history of our island.
We invite you to enjoy the many delights the festival has to offer. Attend just a few events or purchase a passport to the entire festival. We promise you a moving, entertaining, and memorable experience!
