Bradbury Storytelling Festival Tickets

The Bradbury Storytelling Festival brings Ray Bradbury’s legendary imagination to life through captivating storytelling, community programs, and Halloween-themed performances hosted by the Waukegan Public Library with support from the Waukegan Park District. Since its inception in the late 2000s, the festival has grown into a cherished annual tradition that blends literature, local arts, and family-friendly storytelling. Highlights have included school matinees, evening performances at iconic venues like the Genesee Theatre, and a commitment to Bradbury-inspired tales that spark wonder in audiences of all ages.

In 2010, the Ray Bradbury Storytelling Festival earned the Highsmith Library Innovative Award from the Illinois Library Association, recognizing its creative approach to public programming. The festival continues to honor Bradbury’s legacy while expanding to include new voices from the community and surrounding regions.
