In conjunction with International Women’s Day, their 10 day festival runs each March at various venues across the city. SkirtsAfire Festival values diversity in the women they represent and welcomes women artists of all diverse backgrounds including trans women, self-identifying women, the LGBTQ2 community, all ethnicities and all abilities.

The festival goes down this weekend and features all forms of art including theatre, dance, music, comedy, bands and even yoga and belly dancing workshops. The festival’s artistic director Annette Loiselle spoke with Brooklyn about the festival entering its biggest year to date!
