How to write a scene like this (More details inside!)?

My main character goes to a celebration where stories are told yet she can't, for plot reasons, listen to them. How do I write the scene if she has to pass by story tellers and she might also be told to sit and listen? Not listening to the stories being told is what sets the plot in motion. Should I just have her hear interesting but not to revealing story snippets as she passes and then have her hear the whole story at the end of my book? My story is told in limited third person point of view. Thanks. :)
