Pretty things are even better when you get to make them yourself 🎀✂️✨

We loved having Pretty World Co. bring a hands-on DIY experience to Female Energy this year! This mother + daughter-owned business created the sweetest little creative corner where guests could slow down, get crafty, and leave with something they made themselves. 🥹

Female Energy has always been about more than shopping. We love filling the festival with experiences that let you do, create, connect + discover something new.

Thank you Pretty World Co. for adding a little extra pretty to our world this year. 💗

Surpriseeee. We’re launching something slight this Thursday 🤏🏽✨

We’ve been working on a little something behind the scenes, and Women of the 815 at Crave Kitchen + Cocktails felt like the perfect place to let her make her first appearance.

Introducing… Alma Social Club. 🌼

Come have a drink, mingle, enjoy complimentary wine samples + light bites, custom engraving by Studio 109, florals by Elegant Events, and get the very first taste of what we’ve been creating.

Nothing too crazyyyyy. Just the beginning of something new. 🥂

Thursday, August 20 | 5:30–7:30 PM

A market is only as good as the businesses inside of it… and Y’ALL SHOWED OUT. 😭🎀✨

To every single vendor who chose to spend Year 9 with us, THANK YOU.

For the months of preparing, the late-night inventory runs, the booth setups, the cute signage, the samples, the sold-out products, the conversations, the connections + everything in between. 🛍️💐

You didn’t just come to sell. You helped create the EXPERIENCE.

One of our favorite parts of Female Energy will always be watching small businesses get discovered in real time. Someone walks in never knowing your brand existed and leaves following you, shopping with you, booking with you or telling somebody else about you. THAT is what this is about. 🥹

Whether this was your first Female Energy or you’ve been setting up with us year after year, we are so grateful you trusted us with your business.

150+ vendors. Hundreds of brands, dreams + ideas under one roof.

Year 9 was YOUR year too. 🎀

VENDORS… WE LOVE Y’ALL BADDDD. 😭🫶🏼

To everyone who showed up for Female Energy Year 9… this one is for YOU. 🥹🎀

The besties, the families, the babies, the first-timers and the ones who have been rocking with us year after year. 💗

You shopped small, found new businesses to love, ate GOOD, took all the pictures, ran into old friends and filled that building with the exact energy we created this event for.

Every purchase, every follow, every tag, every “girl, come look at this!” 😂 THAT is Female Energy.

We can plan it, decorate it and obsess over every little detail, but you are what brings it to life.

Thank you for spending your Saturday with us, supporting these businesses and making Year 9 feel so special. We hope you left with a new favorite business, a cute picture and at least one thing you absolutely did not plan on buying. 😂🎀

Year 9, you were beautiful. Next stop… YEAR TEN. 🥹🎂✨ AUGUST 7TH! 37 Media Collective

POV: you upgraded to VIP at Female Energy. 💋🍸🎀

And babyyyy, the girlies were UPSTAIRS. 😭

This year we wanted VIP to feel like more than a different colored wristband. We wanted it to be its own little Female Energy world, and seeing everyone actually enjoying it exactly how we imagined made me soooo happy. 🥹

🍸 Signature cocktails + private bar
🎀 Complimentary braids + beauty services
💋 Photo moments
✨ Lounge seating + balcony views
🛍️ VIP goodies
💗 And, most importantly, a room FULL of good energy.

A HUGE thank you to Rock Valley Credit Union for believing in the vision and making our Year 9 VIP Lounge possible. From the details to the experience itself, having a partner willing to invest in creating something special for our community means more than you know. 💗

And PLEASEEEE make some noise for our braiders + beauty girlies because they were WORKINGGGG. 😭👏🏽 Complimentary services all afternoon and somehow still keeping the vibes immaculate. We appreciate every single one of you for pouring your time and talent into our VIP guests.

And finally, to the VIP girlies themselves…

Because an experience is cute, but the PEOPLE make it a vibe. 🍸💋 Y’all came upstairs, got your drinks, got braided, took your pictures, sat on the balcony, made friends and understood the assignment COMPLETELY.

Year 9 was our first time activating upstairs for VIP
which mean we’re really about pop it for YEAR TEN !!!!!😭🎀

Thank you + every single person who helped us make the Female Energy VIP Experience what it was. 💗✨

VIP Year 9: officially in the books. 🍸🎀

Female Energy Festival: YEAR NINE. 🎀✨

I’ve been trying to figure out how to recap a day that took almost an entire year to create… and I still don’t think a caption could do it justice.

2,200+ people. 150+ vendors. One community. 💗

Year 9 was BIG. Not just because of the numbers, but because of what those numbers represent.

Women showing up for women.
Small businesses having one of their biggest sales days.
Creators creating.
Friendships being made.
People discovering a new favorite business.
Little girls walking around watching women build, sell, lead and take up space. 🥹

Female Energy started as an idea nine years ago, and somehow we’ve watched it grow into something that feels so much bigger than an event.

And this year? We took over the Sports Factory. 😭🎀

To every vendor who trusted us with your business, every sponsor who invested in the vision, every volunteer who helped us pull off the impossible, every creator who captured the magic, every member of our team who ran around with me behind the scenes, and every single person who bought a ticket and walked through those doors:

THANK YOU.

We learned a lot this year. We already know what we want to do differently. We already know what we want to make bigger, better and more intentional.

Because somehow…

NEXT YEAR IS YEAR TEN. 😭🎂✨

A whole DECADE of Female Energy.

And if you thought Year 9 was big…

Baby, we have some work to do. 🎀

Female Energy Festival Year 9, that’s a wrap. 💗

See you at YEAR TEN. ✨
