Lady Fest

LadyFest 2007, a festival showcasing music, poetry and art made by New Orleans women, will be held Nov. 14-18.

LadyFest New Orleans is a Louisiana nonprofit loosely based on a concept that began in Oregon and has spread around the world.

Event organizers said LadyFest will benefit organizations that support women. Donations at the door go to the Women’s Health Clinic, Renew New Orleans and the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic.
