LadyFest Dayton 2011 is this weekend!

Ladyfest is a community-based, not-for-profit global music and arts festival for female artists
that features bands, musical groups, performance artists, authors, spoken word and visual artists,
and workshops; it is organized by volunteers and is a family event that people of all ages are
welcome to attend.

The first ever Ladyfest was held in Olympia, Washington in August 2000 with over 2000
people attending. Prime motivators in the event were Sarah Dougher, Sleater-Kinney,
Cat Power, Neko Case, and Teresa Carmody.

Since the first Ladyfest, the event has branched out into other urban centres such as
Amsterdam, Atlanta, Belgium, Berlin, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Brooklyn, Cambridge,
Columbus, Chicago, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Lansing, London, Los Angeles, Madrid,
Melbourne, Orlando, Ottawa, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Diego, Sevilla, Toronto,
Washington DC, and more. Each new festival is organized locally and independently of
other Ladyfest events in other states or countries, primarily by volunteers, and most
proceeds are donated to non-profit organizations.
