Enjoy music, food and beverages from more than 45 North Carolina breweries during the Bière de Femme festival at NoDa Brewing Company on Saturday, Sept. 10.

The event — which rotates to different cities each year — raises scholarship funds for the Pink Boots Society, an international nonprofit organization of women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry. Those scholarships pay for things like courses, seminars and immersion trips.

Festivalgoers can expect fermented beverages including beer, cider and seltzer, along with a few nonalcoholic options such as kombucha, said Razia Gonzalez, a Pink Boots Society member who is the events and experiences coordinator at Resident Culture Brewing and is helping plan the event.

The event will also feature vendors, educational booths and woman-owned and operated food trucks, including vegan option Soul Miners Garden and charcuterie by Board-eaux and Co., plus Tacos Don Coyotl. A female DJ from Radical Grove will provide the music.
