Beginning at 6 p.m. Friday and continuing through Sunday, storytellers take the stage at McCoy Pavilion in Ala Moana Beach Park for the Talk Story Festival.
The stories are not kid-focused, older children and teens can be engaged by the presentations.
On Friday, the focus will be Spooky Stories.
On Saturday, Alton Chung, a Portland, Ore., resident raised in Hawaiçi, performs “Pigs From The Sea,” the tale of Hawaiçi’s Okinawan community’s efforts to send pigs to starving Okinawa after World War II; Kuniko Yamamoto presents “Japanese Fish Folk Tales” with origami; and at 8 p.m., three voices from the “Papayas and Bitter Melons” women’s story collective.
The festival wraps Sunday evening with “Revelation” stories.
Sign language interpreters will be provided.
