Outfest Women's Soiree

There are a myriad of events to choose from this holiday season but if you love film and women, then this is the event for you. Outfest Board members AV Shahi and Cheri Song wanted to bring back a women’s event where Outfest supporters, filmmakers, board, staff and members could meet and mingle. The soiree held on Dec. 3 will kick off quarterly networking mixers that will rotate form home to home. The best part…the event is open to all Outfest members.

Be prepared to have your taste buds delighted by samplings from the finest lesbian and/or woman owned restaurants in town. Sponsor restaurants include: Street, Reservoir, Vodvil, Miss Lilly’s Trading Company and Yuca’s. And to pair with the fabulous feast wine from City Sip LA and Justin Winery!
