Chicago's Half Way to Michfest Party April 26
From a press release
2014-04-16


Drum Divas


Join 400 hundred women "on the land" at the Abbey, for dancing, live performances, and mingling in the Twilight Zone, Bush Garden Lounge, Triangle Fire, and Night Stage. And, you never know what might happen on Lois Lane.

Dance all night, feel the Michfest love, and help raise money to send women to Festival! Last year we gave away 10 tickets from the FREE DRAWING to women who needed support to get to festival. Come to the party to enter the free drawing!

Suggested donation, $5-$10. No one turned away for lack of funds

WIN A SIX-DAY MICHFEST TICKET

The Night Stage features surf punk dance-band Venus in Furs, Chicago's legendary Drum Divas, Poet Warrior Extraordinaire C.C. Carter, Louise Cloutier's burn-down-the-house a cappella, swoon-worthy kings Style & Swagg, and fire goddess Terri Burch.

TRIANGLE FIRE JAM

Triangle Fire Jam features the very talented Aerin Tedesco, Andrea Bunch, Jenny Urban, Maria Gullo, Angelisa Crognale, Amelia Starnsta, Betsy Odom, Angie Maloney and special guests. Gather round the fire pit for some fierce singer-songwriters. Bring your instrument and join in.

New Venue!

We outgrew the Holiday Club and our new host is The Abbey, 4320 W. Grace. . The Abbey has a big beautiful stage and dancing til 2 a.m., so bring your friends and share that Michfest love. In addition to the fundraising raffle, any woman can enter the FREE DRAWING to be eligible to win a ticket to festival. Last year, we raised enough money to give Michfest tickets to 10 women. The FREE DRAWING is for women who self-identify as "needing help" to get to festival this year. You can only enter if you attend party, so come for a great night and a good chance for a free ticket.
