Our story continues.
After years of gathering in and around Santa Rosa Beach, Emerald Coast Storytellers has begun expanding west. Our Fort Walton Beach series is officially underway, and we’re excited to continue building a new chapter—bringing new voices, new stories, and a new community around the mic.
Join us at Gannet Creative House — a creative studio space in the heart of Fort Walton Beach — for a night of live storytelling where strangers become familiar, ordinary moments become meaningful, and stories are experienced together, in real time.
Settle in. Listen deeply. Or take the leap and share.
📅 Wednesday, April 29th
📍 Gannet Creative House — Fort Walton Beach
⏰ Doors at 6:30 PM | Stories at 7 PM
🎟 Free to attend — RSVP required
🪑 This gathering is intentionally BYO(Chair) + BYOB — bring something comfortable, bring something to sip, and help us create an intimate, living-room-style storytelling space together.
April Story Theme: Family Ties
Family is often where our first stories begin. It’s where we learn love, language, conflict, and care—sometimes long before we know how to name them.
But family ties don’t stop at blood. They extend through generations, across distance, and into the people, places, and communities that shape us. They’re the threads we’re born into, the ones we inherit, and the ones we choose to hold onto—or gently unravel.
This theme invites stories about the families who raised us, the ones we’re raising, the ones we’ve found along the way, and the ties that continue to pull us back, push us forward, or quietly hold us together.
Want to Tell Your Story?
When you register, you’ll have the option to sign up for the mic in advance — recommended if you already feel the nudge.
Didn’t sign up ahead of time?
Find Breanna when you arrive and she’ll add your name to the bag.
Writers, poets, musicians, performers, and first-timers are all welcome. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, true stories, or something in between — if it matters to you, it belongs here.
Stay tuned for the official announcement of our Featured Storyteller!
