Ruidosa Fest is not just a festival—it’s a celebration of women’s talent, creativity, and power in music. Since its founding in 2016 by Chilean singer-songwriter Francisca Valenzuela, it has grown into Latin America’s first all-female music festival and a platform for feminist and cultural expression.
What Is Ruidosa Fest?
Ruidosa Fest is an interdisciplinary festival that celebrates women and gender-diverse artists across music, comedy, and the arts. It features live performances, workshops, panel discussions, and a fair showcasing independent brands and publishers. Beyond entertainment, the festival creates a space for dialogue, learning, and community building, amplifying voices often underrepresented in the music industry.
The Origins and Mission
The festival began as a response to the gender disparities in Latin American music, where women make up only a small fraction of performers at major events. Ruidosa Fest seeks to change that by giving women and gender-diverse artists a prominent stage, while also fostering a feminist, inclusive, and intergenerational community. Its goal goes beyond music—it’s about empowerment, representation, and cultural change.
