The Michigan Womyn's Music Festival has had 32 years to get things right...and, believe me, they have! For one week a year, these 650 acres are the most heavily-populated "city" in Oceana County in western Michigan. We have food, health care, garbage collection, recycling, childcare, a girls' camp & a boy's camp, recovery support, mass transit via wheelchair-accessible shuttle vans & tractor-pulled flatbed "buses". There are traffic controllers, security, and a communications headquarters.

As you can imagine, a VERY important part of it all is our three meals a day with vegetarian-friendly entries cooked over open-pit fires, locally-grown veggies & salad greens chopped by loving hands, and Michigan-fresh peaches and watermelons for dessert.

All of this is accomplished by the campers themselves, supported & organized by festival workers assigned to each area. For the MWMF is a cooperatively-run community in which each camper is expected to do two 4-hour workshifts if they're there for the entire week, or one shift if they only come for the weekend.

This is the way women would run the world.
