Celebrating women in music and the men and women who love them,the first Annual Los Angeles Women's Music Festival will be held at Woodley Park, Encino, CA on Sat Aug. 25, 2007, from 10AM - 6PM.
Featuring Sophie B. Hawkins, BETTY, Klymaxx, Patrice Pike, Los Abandoned, SONiA of Disappear Fear, Brasil Brazil, SheJay DJs and many other talented artists, the event is both a ground-breaking women's music festival and a benefit for animal rescue.

Despite the success and popularity of Lilith Fair and other women's music festivals around the country,this is the first festival of its kind in Los Angeles, the heart of the music industry. The support for and response to this year's festival has been overwhelmingly positive. As one fan put it, "I love music - and I love women!" Held at Woodley Park, home of WorldFest, with power provided by eSolar and with vegan, vegetarian and organic food, pet adoptions, children's activities, a healing arts tent and more, this is an eco-music festival with fun for the whole family.

As a major part of The Los Angeles Women's Music Festival we are hosting pet adoptions with animal rescue groups from Los Angeles. By bringing them out on a beautiful Saturday in August where there will be a huge community of like minded, compassionate human beings, we will be offering the chance of a loving home to many of the animals.

Volunteers and donations for this aspect of the festival are greatly appreciated. The following rescue organizations are participating in the festival: Bunny Luv Rescue, Cat Connection, Death Row Dogs Rescue, Forte Animal Rescue, K9 Connection,WorldHeartFoundation,Heaven on Earth Society for Animals, Boxer Rescue-LA, Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue,and Villalobos Rescue Center.
