SisterSpace of the Delaware Valley sponsors the East Coast's longest running women's festival, the weekend after Labor Day (early Sept.) in Darlington, Maryland, a short drive from Philly, Baltimore, D.C., and NYC! Our key constituencies are women in the local Delaware Valley lesbian community. Sisterspace is accessible to women of all abilities, socioeconomic status, gender-identities, cultures, races and faiths. As an all-volunteer organization, most of our programming is presented and hosted by volunteers; this leaves the issues we specifically address in a given year up to our members. Overall, the community of Sisterspace encourages self awareness, cultivates leadership, builds confidence and strengthens lesbian community. Our yearly committee programming reaches women and members of the LGBT community who are interested in intergenerational communication, women of color programming, women’s health, women’s recreational sports, women in the arts, and supports up-and-coming artists with scholarships. The Sisterspace weekend festival expands beyond the local area and attracts an international audience, as well as women from over 25 states. The women of the Delaware Valley make up 95% of our volunteer force and are leaders at the weekend festival.
