Michigan Womyn's Music Festival
Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. Womyn who want to step out of the mainstream for a week and into the best party on the planet can taste the magic that has kept Michigan alive, radical, controversial, deeply musical and passionately creative for the past 30 years. It’s a place where the music is as diverse as the womyn who attend, where mothers and daughters and granddaughters come together and find their common culture as each rising generation adopts the Festival and makes it their own. Womyn of every age, color, shape, style and attitude gather each year to enjoy a womon-loving cultural extravaganza of our own creation. This year’s version includes over 40 performances, hundreds of workshops, a film festival, a crafts fair, and fitness and dance classes. The Festival is held on 650 acres of lush Michigan woodlands where you can hike in for the deep woods experience or settle in a busy fireside neighborhood.
