Cherry Grove Weekend of Women

The Feminine on Fire! CG WoW is a 3-day festival of music, art, healing, and community celebrating the Divine Feminine. All women (cis, trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive) and all allies in touch with the Divine Feminine are welcome. Dames & Daddies Sadie Hawkins Speakeasy Friday, Oct. 2: 8pm - 12am @The Ice Palace A queer twist on a classic tradition: ease into the weekend with an evening of romance, flirtation, and connection. Live music from sexy chanteuses Sarah Glassman, Malea Kimberly, Melissa Driscol, Hannah Gill, and LEXXE, electrifying burlesque and drag performances from Kellen DeGenerate, Jewel Marquee, Tess Itura, and Cheetah Quila, and boundary-pushing BDSM performances by Lady Dragon Tears, Miss Stevie, and Salem the Sadist. The Very Fairy Beachside Bazaar Saturday, Oct 3: 1-5pm @The Ice Palace Browse, shop, and connect at this vibrant market featuring fabulous wares from over 20 sapphic makers and creatives, including GO Magazine and Olivia Travel. Get a flash tattoo, a fresh fade, blowout or fairy hair that'll carry you through the weekend. Enjoy acupuncture, Reiki, and massage, discover original fashion and art, and maybe find the perfect accessories to go with your Belvedere Ball lewk for Season of the Witch. Cherry Pop Theater Sunday, Oct 4: 8-11pm @The Ice Palace A night of performances with an open mic spirit — part curated bill, part free-for-all, all of it happening in front of a supportive audience. The evening opens with Lesbutante, a one-act written and performed by Susan Thornton, a septuagenarian and longtime Cherry Grove resident looking back on her years as a stripper in the 1970s, followed by comedians Madelein Murphy and Kendra Dawsey. Then the stage is up for grabs. Come see what happens when the stories we don't usually get to hear finally get a stage.
