2012 Festival Dates are August 7-12, 2012 General Festival InformationMichigan is a music and performing arts festival that stirs up a steady mix of emerging artists, returning favorites, and new-to-Michigan pros. It's a space to mix and mingle with thousands of womyn in a village inspired by feminist values and built through a unique collective ingenuity. This is a week to relax in the sun, play hard in the woods, engage deeply and connect with community. Each year brings together the most amazing cross-generational multi-cultural group of womyn to live as friends, lovers, neighbors all. Bring the best of who you are – you will recognize yourself everywhere. 
Events and ActivitiesThe Festival week begins with Intensive Workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday that range from half-day workshops to weeklong series taught by womyn with distinctive talents and expertise. Thursday kicks off a four-day open forum of workshops led by these teachers and others attending the Festival that provides a rich avenue for resource sharing and community networking. If you would like to present a workshop, download a workshop registration off the web or contact us for a form. Within the Community Center complex you'll find a variety of community activities and events, along with networking space for Teens, Over 50's, Jewish Womyn, Deaf and HOH Womyn and womyn from other countries. Offering community, celebrations, workshops and special events, the Womyn of Color Tent provides an ongoing opportunity for exploration and reclamation of our many and varied traditions. Community Services
Our community services are conceived, built, and delivered by every womon who attends Festival. Your time on workshift (everyone does two, one for the weekenders) is an opportunity to connect, to contribute, and to be involved in the inner workings of a city built from the ground up by feminist values. This city relies upon the unique energies of each womon to bring our conscious community to life, and the shared experience of thoughtful living extends from our annual community out into the larger world.
Childcare is available in three different areas. Sprouts Family Campground provides a day camp and family campground for moms and all young children through four years of age. Gaia Girls Camp offers daily activities and supervision through the evening concerts for girls five and over. Brother Sun Boys Camp operates from 8am to midnight with a program of outings; crafts, cookouts, music, sports and campfires for boys aged five through ten. Located in a mix of forest and meadow, Brother Sun offers a fun, welcoming and secluded area for boys while preserving womyn's space in all other Festival areas.

In order to participate in any of the childcare areas, all children must be pre-registered by July 23rd.
