The Whitewater Storytelling Festival has been serving the residents of Whitewater with quality engagement with the storytelling arts annually since 2021 as part of the Whitewater Chamber of Commerce. In 2025, the Storytelling Festival has joined with the Whitewater Arts Alliance to continue that tradition. This year The Whitewater Storytelling Festival will take place on the evening of Friday, May 30 and during the morning and early afternoon of Saturday, May 31. The event will be held at the Whitewater Arts Alliance's home - The Historic White Memorial Library, now known as the Whitewater Cultural Arts Center - and in Flat Iron Park, the park with the beautiful fountain, in downtown Whitewater, Wisconsin.
