The purpose of LadyFest Music City is to foster, connect and showcase a diverse community of creative women making music. Taking place the weekend of Oct. 20th and 21st, Nashville will be host to it's very first LadyFest! The event highlights some of the very best female artists in Music City, as well as in our regional community. The event showcases these artists at various venues around the city, including some of Nashville's most popular venues, The Exit/In and The End.
LadyFest Music City is an independently run and organized event created by women and for women. This historic event began in Olympia, Washington six years ago in 2000. The spirit of the festival has caught the attention of music communities in cities across the globe.
