Free Storytelling Festival in Cedar Rapids | Cedar Rapids News

Six days. Zero cost. Infinite stories. The Cedar Rapids Storytelling Festival is back, running from Sept 21–26, bringing free performances and workshops across the Creative Corridor — from downtown libraries to the African American Museum of Iowa. National acts mingle with local spoken-word legends, while community members get a mic to share their own five-minute tales. Highlights include Adam Booth’s folk-art journey, Brian C. Lorio and Kory May’s “Native Son,” and a Grand Showcase closing with Kim Weitkamp and Darrin Crow. Seats fill fast — don’t miss your chance to hear, tell, and be part of the magic.
