StoryArk Festival 2025
A celebration of youth voice, creativity, and community
When: Thursday, August 7 | 5:00–7:00 PM
Where: Stillwater Middle School
This summer, StoryArk youth have been dreaming, writing, podcasting, painting, and storytelling their hearts out—and now it’s time to celebrate! Join us for the 2025 StoryArk Festival, where our summer campers will share the powerful, funny, heartfelt, and imaginative stories they’ve created during our high school and middle school storytelling camps.
From original podcasts and songs to live performances and readings, you’ll get a front-row seat to the voices of our youth storytellers. This free event is open to all—parents and guardians, educators, community members, alumni, and friends. Whether you’ve supported our youth behind the scenes, participated in programs, or are simply curious to learn more, this evening is for you!
Past Festivals and Projects
The StoryArk Festival is supported by the St Croix Valley Foundation and sponsored by Kowalski’s Markets. Summer programming has been a collaboration through our Absent Narrative Project with Stillwater, South Washington County and Hastings school districts. StoryArk programming seeks to empower, uplift and amplify the voice of all students – especially those underrepresented and often missing from the mainstream narrative.
