In collaboration with BackFence PDX, ART presents CAMPFIRE STORIES, a live, outdoor* storytelling event you won’t want to miss! Spend a fall evening around a campfire** enjoying your favorite outdoor treats while your favorite Portland storytellers spin tales of wonder.

VIP tickets are $50 and comes with parking, a goodie bag, and a drink ticket (VIP tickets are limited to 10 per show). Masks and proof of vaccination are required to attend.***
When the leaves are in their glorious orange and red prime, and a hint of crispness is in the air, it’s the perfect time for ghost, getting lost, summer camp, and outdoorsy stories! BackFence stories are typically personal and entirely true, but the joy of campfire stories is they are a bit larger than life. Though the stories in the show will be true – storytellers will get in touch with their tricky inner fox and exaggerate some details.Each cabin will perform once a night, alternating time slots over the two evenings. Audience members will travel from fire pit to fire pit to listen to 6 storytellers. There will be a 10 minute intermission between each storytelling set.

*Performances will take place under the open-sided cover of the Zidell barge building next to the base of the OHSU tram. This event will go on rain or shine!
**We had every intention of having audiences around real wood burning campfires, but due to the Oregon fire ban we are pivoting and we’ll create the best campfire experience you’ve seen since Waiting For Guffman.
