Columbus: The Ohio Lesbian Festival (OLF) marks its 20th Anniversary this year with many new and exciting changes. The September 19 & 20, 2009 event will be the first time that the festival will be held over 2 days and include free camping for attendees.
The OLF, began in 1988 and held each year at Frontier Ranch just east of Columbus, features local, regional and nationally known womyn’s music performers and includes a merchant / indie craft market, workshops, an after hours dance and a relaxing and fun-filled weekend for womyn. The addition of camping on Saturday promises to make the Festival more accessible to more womyn, many of whom travel from neighboring states to attend.
In honor of the 20th Anniversary, festival organizers have committed to making changes and improvements in the festival to enhance attendees’ experience. In response to feedback from past participants, a new expanded and improved food concession will include old favorites (Pat’s Chili) and many new menu items. Corn on the cob and a variety of vegetarian options are being added. Because the event is 2 days long now, there will be breakfast foods available on Sunday morning and the concession stand will stay open later in the evening to meet the needs of those late night snackers.
The Frontier Ranch property has also undergone renovations that make festival production easier and camping more appealing. A newly remodeled shower house and improvements to the stage area and the concession stands will make for a pleasant experience for everyone.
Festival headliners include: Cris Williamson, Alix Olson and God-dess & She as well as numerous other performers. A full list of performers, many other details and ticket purchase are all available on the website Ohio Lesbian Festival.
------------------
The Ohio Lesbian Festival is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven womyn only event designed to promote womyn’s community and art. The Festival was founded on the premise that lesbians and queer womyn need opportunities and spaces to recognize and support each other, to define our culture, to find our own strengths and to be empowered. The Festival is open to all womyn.
