Stories with Friends is Azalea Storytelling’s free monthly open mic, where community members of all ages gather to share stories, listen, and connect. Each month, the program travels to a different location, helping highlight and support local businesses and community organizations throughout the area.

This month, join us at Beacon Brewing Co. on Sunday, August 23, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. We’ll gather upstairs in the loft area for an afternoon of stories, laughter, and community.

Whether you’re an experienced storyteller, trying it for the first time, or simply want to enjoy some great stories, everyone is welcome. Storytelling slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a 12-minute limit per teller. A sign-up sheet will be available when you arrive.

Emcee: Pepper Hagebak
