Esquimalt Parks & Recreation, together with Kiwanis and the Greater Victoria Public Library invite local families to celebrate the wonder of storytelling at the 12th Annual Esquimalt Children's Story Fest.

This event is free and includes lunch provided by Country Grocer while supplies last.

This year's storytellers include:

Jennifer Ferris

Victoria storyteller, Jennifer Ferris, has entertained listeners of all ages for 25 years. She has performed for pre school groups, in schools, at community events, nature sanctuaries and festivals.   As an educator she has had an opportunity to share her stories with all grades from K to 12, tailoring the story to the curriculum, to the situation, and just for fun.  Through her professional work and volunteer activities in the community she has used story to engage and entertain tellers of all ages. She gives workshops to adults, children, families and international ESL students.  Participants find that her gentle approach and enthusiasm offers a safe environment to try new ideas. Acutely aware of the power of humour and just the right turn of phrase, she loves to tell personal stories and tales of myth, magic and transformation from around the world.

Faye Mogensen

When Faye Mogensen reaches into the great box of stories, she draws on folklore from near and far, family stories and personal experiences. She weaves these into tales of mystery, humor and passion. Faye loves the way stories touch the heart and tickle the mind, and hopes you will too.

Peg Hasted

Peg Hasted is an early childhood educator who has worked with young children for over 15 years. Her well-crafted tales delight listeners of all ages at schools, festivals and community events. She also gives storytelling workshops and offers individual and group coaching.
