A dozen events showcasing stories in their many forms will unfold across ten days, illuminating the Warrnambool winter with inspiration, reflection, and connection.
As it enters its second half-decade, Warrnambool Storytelling Festival is ready for a twist on the narrative. With a fresh new format and a style-up to match, WSF 2026 will deliver a rich mix of programming carefully curated to amplify a variety of voices within our regional community, and bring world-class storytellers to our city.
