"LADYFEST BELLINGHAM is a feminist festival celebrating the creativity of women, transfolks, girls, grandmas, and gender queers & nonconformists.

We define feminism less as a set of rules and more as a vehicle for asking questions and creating avenues for change. There are many forms of silencing but there are even more ways to make noise and claim space.

We believe that expertise is too often a male-defined construct. We believe that if the rules surrounding the production of art are preventing you from creating it then you have the right to disregard them.

"LADYFEST LONDON 2011

Join us in celebrating local female creativity in all of its forms!

Ladyfest provides an opportunity for visitors to discuss and take action on their views on topics such as misogynism in the arts and beauty standards. It allows people attend shows by female performers,and have a good time in a space where they felt comfortable to be themselves. Ladyfest is a breath of fresh air to male dominated corporate sponsored music festivals where only a handful of women are "lucky" enough to perform every year.
