LOCATIONS
Note that the festival offers two tents:

Merriwether Tent
(Located at the corner of Main and Merriwether Streets)

River Campus Tent
(Located at the corner of Spanish and Morgan Oak Streets on the grounds of the River Campus)

SESSIONS AND PASSES
The festival offers sessions at various times throughout the day and evening, from 9am-9pm, Friday-Saturday and 9am-3:30pm on Sunday. If you purchase a Day Pass, you can attend any session on that particular day—including the “Olio” performances from 7pm-9pm on Friday and Saturday, and 1:30-3:30pm on Sunday, while a 3 Day Pass will allow you to attend all sessions on any day. For example, for the purchase of 1 Day Pass on Saturday, you could attend the 10am-10:45am session with Donald Davis and Kevin Kling at the River Campus tent, take a short break to grab a meal at one of our downtown restaurants, and then come back at 2:30pm-3:15pm to see Minton Sparks and Syd Lieberman.

"OLIO" PERFORMANCE
The “Olio” is a two hour performance on Friday and Saturday night (from 7pm-9pm) and Sunday afternoon (from1:30pm-3:30pm) at the River Campus tent that features the storytellers in a back-to-back series with one short intermission. Perfect for a night out of evening entertainment, the evening Olio on Friday and Saturday night allows you to sit back and enjoy the storytellers under the stars. The Sunday Olio is our last performance of the festival and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. All ticket holders can attend.
