Girl Power Fest 09 takes place from 13th to 22nd November 2009.

"Potpuni naziv festivala - Girl Power, festival ženskog stvaralaštva, zapravo samim nazivom govori o kakvom se festivalu radi. U "moru" razno raznih događanja Udruga M:A:K odlučila je napraviti festival posvećen isključivo ženskom stvaralaštvu.

Zašto samo ženskom stvaralaštvu?
