Dear Festival Friends,

Today marks World Storytelling Day, a global celebration of the power of words and story—an occasion that directly aligns with our mission at the Santa Fe International Literary Festival.  

This year's theme for World Storytelling Day, "Building Bridges," emphasizes the countless ways that stories connect people across cultures, languages, and experiences. In just two years, SFILF has established a platform where these bridges are built, where diverse voices are heard, and where the magic of storytelling unites us all in our shared humanity. Yet, we still have more bridges to cross before our international literary impact is truly lasting.

Your support is crucial in making our vision a reality. While festival ticket sales cover only a portion of our annual expenses, your donations help us bring together storytellers from around the world, present a tapestry of narratives, and create an inclusive space where everyone's story matters.

Your gift not only supports the arts, it also fosters understanding, empathy, and connection. Every donation, no matter the size, is a step towards building bridges between individuals, communities, and cultures through the universal language of storytelling.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, let's keep the world’s storytellers coming to Santa Fe.

MAKE YOUR GIFT TODAY.
