The 2nd Annual Women to the Front Festival will be taking the stage at New Belgium Brewing on Sunday, Sept. 17 from 12 to 8 p.m. for an afternoon highlighting the women of Asheville (plus an after party at Getaway River Bar).

Get ready for live music, food trucks, and vendors at an event celebrating female-identifying people in the music industry, women-owned nonprofits + businesses, and organizations that support women.

If you can’t wait until Sunday to start the party, we hear you — the festival is also hosting events and concerts each day leading up to the big show. Stop by Salvage Station on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 4 to 7 p.m. for a roundtable discussion on being female in the music industry and an acoustic song share (followed by dinner and music). Head to the Night Market at The Mule on Saturday, 6-9 p.m. and don’t miss the dance party at Asheville Music Hall at 9:30 p.m. Get your groove on all weekend long.
