Ladyfest

[wistfulwander]

LadyFest, New Orleans, a non-profit Louisiana Corporation, is a music, spoken word and arts festival organized by local women of all identities to showcase, celebrate and encourage the music, poetry and art of women in New Orleans and to benefit organizations that support women. Driven by volunteers it is loosely based on a concept originated in Oregon a few years ago that has spread around the world and finally reached, New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz.
