Five Boro Story Project

The Five Boro Story Project showcases real New York stories from real New Yorkers.
We travel the five boroughs and produce live community events that bring New Yorkers together through sharing true life stories, poetry, music, and art inspired by our neighborhoods. Catch highlights from the Five Boro Story Project's live storytelling events here!

Our free, hyper-localized events create opportunities for New Yorkers to connect more deeply to our neighborhoods and our neighbors. Our programs aim to strengthen community connections, preserve personal narratives, challenge negative perceptions of the outer boroughs and marginalized areas, resist erosion of local history and culture, and celebrate the diverse neighborhoods and people of NYC.
