2024 Festival Overview

We look forward to seeing YOU at Edgewood Church in East Lansing for our 39th Annual Festival!

We’re happy to once again bring you a weekend full of community and inspiration.

Highlights include:

An Artist Market full of vibrant color and flavor, bringing you the work of regional women artists.

Two Night Stage performances, including:

On Friday night, Joy Clark A singer songwriter who is crashing the Americana music charts with her New Orleans-based brand of soulful, real music.

And on Saturday night, Holly Near Activist, collaborator, singer, songwriter, song leader, artist, and teacher.

A full afternoon of Day Stage performances, featuring singer-songwriters, multi-instrumentalist groups and choral music.

New this year! LESBO BINGO! Come for the comedy and the cat sculpture prize you never knew you needed at 4pm on Saturday. Free to play!

An online auction (live November 1-8) and silent auction on Saturday, November 9th.  An eclectic mix of items provided by local businesses and artists, winning bids support the financial stability of Women in the Arts.

All of this in a warm venue where, as you fill your soul with beauty, you can fill your belly with meals and treats at the Sistrum Café.

The Friday and Saturday Night Stage performance requires tickets, but all other events/activities are free to the public.  You can support the work of this event by participating in online and silent auctions or offering a voluntary donation.
