BitchFest 2026

In the organizer's words:

BitchFest 2026 - For women who no longer want to make themselves smaller

Hey, I'm Jennifer, founder of BitchFest.

For me, a bitch is not an insult. It's not a woman who is too loud, too complicated or too uncomfortable. For me, a bitch is a woman who allows herself to have needs. Who can say no. Who has an attitude and stands up for it, even if it offends.

That's exactly why I founded the BitchFest 3 years ago.

On June 27, 2026, we will once again transform the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart into a place for female empowerment, community, honest conversations and real encounters.

BitchFest is not an event about perfect CVs, career titles or the next self-optimization project. It's about real life. About mental health. About bodies. About anger. About visibility. About relationships. About motherhood. About the freedom to be uncomfortable.

Together with great speakers, artists, musicians and workshop leaders, we are creating a space in which women don't have to explain, optimize or diminish themselves.

Milka Loff Fernandes, Daya Shadee, Silvie Carlsson, Anja Heyelmann, Bahar and many other inspiring women will be joining us.

Look forward to talks such as "Attitude is not a hashtag", "From Rage to Change" or "Bitch, my brain is different!", the Chief Bitch Dialogues, open discussions about sexuality, shame and motherhood as well as workshops on voice, creativity, movement and self-determination.

You can reconnect with your body through yoga or dance, get creative with craftivism, discover new perspectives in the Tiny Book Club or party together to live music by Simona and Kim Hoss.

You can also look forward to our marketplace for badass brands with female founders, art, literature, jewelry, fashion and much more.

Sometimes I describe BitchFest as a feminist group chat. Only for real.

A place where women empower each other instead of comparing. Where real stories are more important than perfection. And where you are welcome just as you are.

Whether you're in the middle of a new beginning, looking for inspiration or just want to spend a day with great women - I look forward to seeing you at BitchFest.
