Surrounded by the dramatic cliffs of Debed Canyon, the town of Tumanyan is home to Armenia's first international storytelling festival, reconnecting contemporary audiences with the rich heritage and tradition of storytelling.

Founded by Nyree Abrahamian, Tina Yesayan and Anoush Tatevossian, Tumanyan International Storytelling Festival is a project of the Tumanyan Development Foundation. 

In addition to two editions of the festival in 2022 and 2023, in 2025 we hosted a storytelling retreat. We have also held events in New York and Los Angeles.
