Phillip Island's Festival of Stories @ Berninneit

ABOUT

Inspiring, uplifting, entertaining, challenging and thought-provoking, no topic is off limits as Phillip Island Festival of Stories empowers a diverse group of people to tell their tales in their favourite form.

Join this year’s remarkable lineup of presenters and published authors as they take us on their journey, one song, artwork, poem, performance and punchline at a time.

 

Yarns whispered through generations over thousands of years. Insights and anecdotes of local history, the foundations of our community.

 

A mix of facts and fiction, a shared narrative that inspires locals and visitors alike to open their ears, their eyes and their minds, sparking important conversations and stirring the storyteller in everyone. Adventure, comedy, drama, fantasy and tragedy, this Festival has it all.
