Femmestival

The inaugural Femmestival in February 2020 was one of the final food/art gatherings before the COVID shutdown. It's finally back, with its celebration of “womxn, femmes and nonbinary entrepreneurs, artists and producers” and goal of highlighting the talents of these underrepresented makers. The 2020 iteration was a foodie dream and you can again expect treats from The Culinary Ladies Collective and more; menu items will be $6.25 each. A portion of Garver Lounge bar proceeds will benefit Centro Hispano and the Culinary Ladies Collective. The day also includes living sculpture in the Garver atrium by Cycropia and Briar Loft; music on the patio by Ladyslipper, Dana Perry and others; and music inside by DJs Femme Noir, Sara Akawa and Mel-down.
