Ladyfest New Orleans
is a non-profit music, spoken word and arts festival organized by
local women of all identities to showcase, celebrate and encourage the
music, poetry, film, art and activism of women in New Orleans and to
benefit local organizations that support women. We are committed to
inspiring self-empowerment and we welcome and encourage all people who
support the education, advancement, and celebration of women to attend
the festival. We feel that providing a venue for women artists
counters the obstacles and discrimination that women often face,
including sexism, homophobia and racism. Our intended objective is the
creation of an annual festival where women can perform with other
women (and men) in a safe, dominantly female-friendly, non corporate
environment. Ladyfest is open and inviting to both men and women, of
all ages and backgrounds
