Regarding Her (RE:Her) will celebrate Women’s History Month with its 4th annual festival designed to support women-owned and led food and beverage businesses. This year, the festival (previously “10 Days”) will grow to span the month of March with events from March 1 through March 31. The festival will kick-off together with the Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival (March 1 – 3) where Regarding Her will be the charitable beneficiary and organization members will be featured.
The festival aims to generate support and camaraderie among women-owned food and beverage businesses from restaurants and bars, to artisan food makers and shop owners. In 2023, Regarding Her membership expanded to include “leaders” who hold executive and management positions as the organization seeks to accelerate the growth of women in the food and beverage industry. Many of the Women’s History Month Festival events will raise funds for member programs, like the RE:Her Academy, member workshops, and programming for the new RE:Her Leaders.
