Earlier this month, we announced Riverwest FemFest would be returning for a third year of female-focused philanthropy. The 2017 iteration (January 18-22) will feature more acts performing at more venues over the course of more days than ever before—all to benefit Milwaukee Coalition For Justice and Milwaukee Women’s Center.
Though our announcement included most of the acts involved, more have been added—including comedians and dozens of artists/makers—along the way, and FemFest organizers just released the full lineup for each day’s shows.
