Riverwest FemFest Goes Digital for 2021
Since 2015,
Riverwest FemFest has been an annual tradition for the creative neighborhood, honoring people who identify as femme, trans, GNC, women, non-binary, and POC for their contributions to the music and arts scenes. For 2021, the festival will look just a bit different, as the traditionally week-long celebration will go to a digital format, due to safety concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, FemFest will celebrate Womenâs History Month, with digital programming throughout March under the theme âPortraits of Femme.â
With cornerstone events happening from March 2 to March 26 across several platforms, FemFest will look at diverse creative works online. Festivities open with a âPortraits of Femmeâ Local/Live program in collaboration with 91.7 WMSE, hosted by Erin Wolf and featuring artist and producer Trinity Grace. Other highlights include a live stream event on March 8 hosted by 88Nine Radio Milwauke
