StoryFest

StoryFest is an exciting endeavour launched by the Greenwood Centre for Living History in Hudson.

This annual Autumn celebration of writers, readers and storytellers builds upon the original Gigantes Series. This year we celebrate our tenth anniversary.

A fun opportunity to "play with words" was developed to pay homage to Greenwood's founder and benefactor, Phoebe Nobbs Hyde, herself a passionate storyteller.

For general questions about tickets, payment options, locations, sponsorship, volunteering, etc., or if you would like to receive news/updates about StoryFest, please call the Greenwood Centre at 450-458-5396 or go to our contact page.

StoryFest 2013

Prepare to be enthralled as StoryFest 2013 is shaping up to be a winner once again! Our year begins with a pre season event brought to us by the Quebec Writers' Federation "Writers Out Loud" series on May 26th. We are delighted to host Nancy Richler, finalist for the 2012 Giller prize. Special thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts for funding for this event. Richler's book The Imposter Bride is set in the Jewish community of N.D.G. soon after World War 2, the same in which Nancy grew up. The Imposter Bride is Richler’s third novel. As Nancy explains, “In all my writing I explore the slipperiness of morality and identity in the face of extreme loss and threat, though the settings and circumstances change with each novel.” Nancy is again living in Montreal after spending twenty-five years in Vancouver and we hope you take this opportunity to meet her.
