Welcome to SAAC!



We are the Storytelling Association of Alta California, a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to promoting storytelling as a living art form. SAAC has something for everyone!

IF YOU ARE A STORYTELLER... Welcome to our community. Browse this site to find storytelling events, classes, workshops, and storytelling festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area, Northern and Southern California. Looking for a place to tell and hear stories? Check out our "story swap" groups pages for an informal storytelling group near you.

IF YOU ARE SEEKING STORYTELLERS for your school, museum, group, organization or event, our members are as diverse as the stars in the sky. Peruse our site and contact our members to tell for your next engagement.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF STORYTELLING... check out our calendar of events, subscribe to Storyline, our quarterly newsletter, and attend our annual Bay Area Storytelling Festival at Kennedy Grove Regional Park in El Sobrante, each May.
