Get thee to a womyn's festival - join Amazon Trail!
What is Amazon Trail? Amazon Trail is a community-oriented, lesbian-centered, contempt-free Discord server where you can make new friends and find out more about women's/LGBT festivals happening in the USA. Amazon Trail was founded in 2023 after I (a 20-something lesbian feminist) attended my first festival, had my life changed by the experience, and subsequently made it my life's mission to get the word out to every lesbian I could. As of 2026, we have ~350 members ranging in age from 18 to 75.
Inside the Discord server, you’ll find this and more:
the list of 30+ womens/LGBT festivals happening in 2026 throughout the USA
a Help-Desk channel for organizing ride-shares, asking questions about camping, and finding scholarship opportunities
an Ask-An-Elder/Ask-A-Younger channel
a Personal-Ads channel (our Lex alternative)
a channel for sharing stories that could only happen at fest
regional meetup channels (around 17 different states/cities and still growing!)
a few hundred friendly lesbians (and a handful of bisexuals)
Some of our goals include:
to uplift each other by raising awareness of and participation in established women's/lesbian cultural traditions (e.g., womyn's festivals, Women's Music)
to educate ourselves about women's and lesbian history
to combat lesbian loneliness by facilitating year-round online and IRL community
to foster open dialogue. The more we talk, the more we realize we have in common, and the less alone (and the more empowered) we become
Why go to a womyn's/LGBT festival?
The festivals are an amazing time. Picture hundreds of sapphics making new friends and creating their found families around campfires, playing in drum circles, attending lively workshops, making art, going to concerts, and even falling in love.
