If you go
The National Storytelling Festival takes place Oct. 4-6. Tickets cost $165 for adults. Special rates for children ($145), seniors ($150) and families of four or five ($535) are available.
Getting there: Fly into the Tri-Cities Regional Airport, about 15 miles from Jonesborough. The nearest big airports are in Asheville, N.C., 60 miles away, and Knoxville, Tenn., 90 miles away. Special airline rates on Delta are available to festival attendees; call Summit Travel, the official travel agency for the festival, at 800-264-1223.
Eating: Pack a granola bar. It can be hard to find time to eat as you shuttle between shows, and the lines at the most popular dining venues can stretch long. Make reservations weeks or months in advance for The Dining Room, a Cuban restaurant and probably the most formal option (148 E. Main St., 423-753-6400). Try to hit Main Street Cafe (117 W. Main St., 423-753-2460, mainstreetcatering.net) during off-hours for salads and sandwiches. A new barbecue joint called the Ghost Town Diner (103 E. Main St.; 423-218-8648), owned by the operators of East TN Ghost Tours, sounds enticing. You can always get a burger at the Jonesborough General
