It's a day to celebrate and spotlight female voices from West Michigan, from women who lead bands to female singer-songwriters and poets.

The first-ever Ladyfest at the Lakeshore takes place 2-11 p.m. Saturday at Grand Armory Brewing, 17 S. 2nd St. in Grand Haven. The one-day festival will feature musical performances by about a dozen acts, a discussion about women composers and an open-mic showcase.

The lakeshore celebration is a spin-off from the popular Ladyfest GR that celebrated its fifth year in March.

"The event keeps growing, from nine featured acts, both bands and solo singer/songwriters, and even local poetry," said organizer Jessica Fogle, who also performs as Jessica in the Rainbow. "We will feature a variety of music styles in our performances, as well as an 'emerging songwriter' showcase and open mic, where people can come in, put their name down on our sign-in sheet, and share their own talents, as well."
