Once Upon a Nation is Philadelphia's summer-long celebration in the city's Historic District, featuring day and evening storytelling with performers trained at the new Benstitute.

Thirteen free storytelling benches will be located in such places as the Betsy Ross House, Carpenters' Hall, Christ Church, City Tavern and Franklin Court to name just a few. The storytellers entertain locals and visitors alike with three-to five-minute tales from Philadelphia's past.
