The Womyn's Music Festival

The Womyn's Music Festival was an annual event held in the United States, primarily celebrating women’s music, art, and culture. Founded in 1974 in Michigan, it aimed to create a safe space for women and often featured performances by female musicians, workshops, and discussions on feminist issues. The festival embraced a diverse audience, promoting themes of empowerment and female solidarity. It was significant in the LGBTQ+ community and feminist movements but faced criticism over its exclusionary practices in later years. The event ran until 2019, leaving a lasting impact on women’s music and festivals.
