Flatwater Tales proudly presents performances by acclaimed storytellers to our community. Every culture has its own stories or narratives that are shared for entertainment, education, cultural preservation, or reflecting cultural values. These Flatwater Tales performances help to bring our community together, introduce others to Oak Ridge, TN, and support local economic activity.
