local storytelling
Neighborhood tale sharing
Local storytelling is the practice of sharing narratives rooted in a particular place or community—tales passed down through generations, accounts of neighborhood history, or stories that capture regional character.
The emphasis is on proximity and authenticity: The festival featured local storytelling from elders who remembered the flood of '52.
It often implies oral tradition rather than written literature.
