Riverwest FemFest launches monthly livestream series

Like nearly every festival, this spring's Riverwest FemFest has been indefinitely postponed because of the pandemic. But the organizers have come up with a virtual replacement. On Friday, the festival will debut a monthly livestream series featuring Milwaukee performers as well as a couple acts from outside the city.

The performances will be streamed on FemFest's Instagram page. "This concert series is a three-part effort to fund performing artists, a mutual aid effort, and a Milwaukee music venue," co-organizer Johanna Rose tells us.

Proceeds will go to the performers, the community organization Ayuda Mutua MKE and Cactus Club. The lineup is below.
