SUMMARY:La Crosse Storytelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to La Crosse Storytelling- Wisconsin’s Longest Running Storytelling Festival\nOur 24th Annual Storytelling Fest! \nWe are RETURNING TO OUR ROOTS! JOIN US IN SEPTEMBER!\nSeptember 11\, 12\, 2026!\nPump House Regional Arts Center \nFor tickets: http://thepumphouse.org \nNote on Parking: Due to construction\, King Street will be closed off during the fest. Parking is available in the ramp to the east of the Pump House at a cost. You can enter and exit this ramp on Jay Street. The ramp behind the Pump House (enter on Front Street) can also be used. There is no charge for this ramp. The front and back doors of the Pump House will be open during the festival. \nThe La Crosse Storytelling Festival was first conceived in 2003 by two local attorneys\, Keith Belzer and Ted Skemp. Through their efforts and backing\, the first 3 Festivals took place at Pettibone Park in La Crosse. It was in these first years that groundwork was lain for all following Festivals: the Festival would be first and foremost a family event\, the level of National talent would be of the highest caliber\, the Festival would highlight professional local tellers\, and the event would serve as a way to educate the general public about storytelling. \nIn 2006\, the Bluff Country Tale Spinners storytelling guild took on the major responsibility for the Festival. And\, as Wisconsin’s First Storytelling Festival\, it continues to meet the initial objectives. Come and enjoy the magic of storytelling!\nJoin us for our 24th Fest! \nDates: Friday\, September 11 and Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 \nLocation: The Pump House Regional Art Center in the Art District of downtown La Crosse.
