Women of West Music Fest a free, family friendly event

It celebrates the diversity of all kinds of women with performances by women led bands, singer-songwriters, hiphop artists and choirs.
Maria Mitar, event curator and co-founder of The Cultural Arts Collective says: “Female artists and parents have found it difficult to find family friendly live music venues in Sydney, where they can bring their children to a quality gig.
“We want to be at the forefront of positive change by creating a women-led safe space for original music.”
In the long-term, the festival will develop a network for industry peers and community elders to support emerging female artists. It will also produce a series of podcasts about women in the music industry.
The event also honours International Women’s Day 2020 with the theme: “I Am Generation Equality: Realising Women’s Rights.”
With Blue Mary, Sepora and DJ Kilimi in the line-up, headline artist is Leah Flanagan who was raised by a community of cultures bolstering her proud Italian, Aboriginal (Alyawarre) and Irish heritage.
Classically trained, Leah navigates between soul, jazz and pop.
There will also children’s arts and crafts so bring a picnic to enjoy Women of the West Music Festival on Saturday, March 7, 4-6pm, and Saturday, April 18, 3-5pm.
Free but booking advised on 9707 5400 or cbcity.nsw.gov.au.
