Calling all families and history buffs: YWCA Hamilton is organizing a grand celebration to commemorate its 125th anniversary, and we extend an invitation to you.
The HERstory & HERitage Festival, a free community event scheduled for March 8, aims to celebrate the nonprofit’s longevity while also shining a light on the influential women and diverse cultures who have shaped Butler County.
The festival, which will take place at the Spooky Nook Champion Mill Conference Center from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., promises to be a day full of culture, storytelling, and a whole lot of community, with attendees able to wander through a marketplace featuring local women- and minority-owned businesses, catch live performances, and marvel at the elaborate tapestry of stories from around the world, according to the original article.
The recognition ceremony, which will honor ten exemplary women leaders for their contributions to driving change across the country, will be a highlight of the festival.
Throughout the day, we will highlight these stories of resilience and success, providing festival-goers with ample motivation and a clear reminder that HERstory in Hamilton remains alive and well.
Don’t worry about your commute. Festival organizers have your back with a free shuttle service that runs throughout the city, with five pick-up locations to make your trip to the venue as easy as possible.
Furthermore, young attendees are not left out, as the Young Story Makers’ Area is set up to stoke the fires of creativity and curiosity through various cultural storytelling activities and interactive experiences.
This festival is setting the stage not only to reflect on the YWCA Hamilton’s glorious past but also to rekindle the spirit of storytelling in future generations.
So, whatever you do, don’t pass up this enriching blend of culture, commerce, and celebration, which will leave an indelible mark on your calendar and heart.
