HERstory

Ladyfest is a community based, not-for-profit, festival established to highlight female artists, performers, bands and musical groups.

This festival came about as a result of the DIY ethic and “Riot Grrrl” movement in Olympia, Washington as well as the many contributions by authors on inclusive feminist philosophy. The first LadyFest was held in Olympia, Washington in August 2000 with over 2000 people attending. Prime motivators in the event were Sleater-Kinney, Cat Power, and Neko Case. The primary organizers of LadyFest are women, but everyone is encouraged to attend and participate in the festival.

Since the first Ladyfest, events like it have been held around the world in locations such as Amerstdam, Atlanta, Belgium, Berlin, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Brooklyn, Dublin, Lansing, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Orlando, Ottawa, Philadelphia, San Fransisco, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, Washington DC, and more. Primarily organized by local volunteers, each festival is held independently of other Ladyfest events. Proceeds from Ladyfest are donated to non-profit organizations dedicated to eliminating the sexist oppression of women.

Proceeds from Ladyfest Tacoma benefit Domestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN). A silent auction will also be held at the event to raise funds for this worthy cause.
