The idea of Ladyfest has been around since 2000 when the first event was held in Olympia, Washington and featured acts like Cat Power, Neko Case and the Gossip. From there, the non-profit celebration of women in music and the arts has expanded into a network of community-based festivals around the world. The Dayton community has been lucky enough to have our own Ladyfest since 2008, and the event has become a regular in the late summer/early fall lineup of festivals downtown.
The Fourth Annual Ladyfest Dayton will be help this weekend: Friday, September 16th and Saturday, September 17th at the Yellow Cab Building on E. Fourth Street. The event will feature displays from visual artists, handmade and food vendors and a great lineup of music and performance on indoor and outdoor stages. Although it’s called Ladyfest, the men of the Miami Valley are welcome and encouraged to attend. As you’ll see from the performance line up below, Ladyfest Dayton has a wide variety of offerings:
