Storytellers from around the world come to Toronto

Canada’s largest city, Toronto, is hosting its 38th Storytelling Festival from April 1 to 10. Among the events, a two-day weekend of “worldly stories” will take place at the Harbourfront Centre. The centre is Canadian charity and functions as a key cultural organization situated on the city’s waterfront.

Liars’ Contests!

There will be Liars’ Contests, a storytelling picnic, and remixed fairytales.

The weekend will attract storytellers from around the world including Haiti, England, Egypt and France, to name just a few countries. They will present in Hindi, Mandarin, French, Creole, Swahili and many other languages.

This will likely be much appreciated by citizens of Toronto, half of whom are said to have been born outside of Canada.
