"Ladyfest is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led arts and music festival which aims to create a space for female artists and musicians to be seen and heard in an environment which is inclusive, individual and fun.

Ladyfest as a concept is unique amongst festivals but Ladyfests have in fact been happening all over the world for eight years now. The first Ladyfest took place in August 2000 in Olympia, Washington, USA, the heart of riot grrrl country. It was organised by a collective of 50 volunteers and attracted an audience of 2,000 people from all over the world. It included film, art, workshops and performances from Cat Power, Sleater-Kinney, Bratmobile and The Gossip.

What is unique about Ladyfests are their DIY spirit: they are not affiliated with one another which means that anyone can appropriate the name and make it their own." (http://www.facebook.com/ladyfest2011?sk=info#!/group.php?gid=5889279790&v=info)
