Long, warm summer evenings are here, which mean it’s time for a new season of storytelling at Txikiteo. The Campfire Stories season premiere was June 10th, showcasing poet and nonfiction writer CL Young, and fiction writer Janalyn Guo.

Now in its sixth season, Campfire Stories began on the patio at The Modern and quickly became a sell-out favorite feature of summer in Boise. The event expanded and moved to Txikiteo last year; all 2019 Campfire Stories evenings take place on the patio at Txikiteo, with writers and storytellers from all genres telling tales loosely organized around a theme. Txikiteo’s signature tapas, charcuterie, and select wines and beers are available. The lineup is below, so mark your calendars for each month—we’ll see you around the firepit.
