Ladyfest Boston 2017
Ladyfest Boston 2017 is part of a long standing tradition of Ladyfests worldwide. Ladyfest is a DIY, community-based and volunteer-run festival that highlights artists that are underrepresented and active in the vibrant arts and music communities around the world. In addition to being a space to showcase said artists, Ladyfest serves as a way of giving back to organizations within the community that support us year round. This year the proceeds from Ladyfest Boston will be split between Girls Rock Campaign Boston and Rosies Place.

-----------------------------------------------
In hosting Ladyfest, our goal is to create an inclusive, safer space for people of all backgrounds/identities to enjoy music and the arts. We will strive to ensure that none of the events surrounding Ladyfest Boston support or promote violence and hatred. It is impossible to ensure that any space can be 100% safe; however, we will work as hard as possible to create spaces that are as safe as possible for performers, showgoers, and volunteers alike. If at ANY point at a Ladyfest affiliated event you or someone you know does not feel safe, please approach one of the organizers as soon as you feel you can.
