In addition to the musical programming, Lawnya Vawnya will also host a workshop called "Intersessions: An Inclusive Sound Initiative: Providing Safer Spaces for Women + LGBTQ+ Folks" in conjunction with Yung Dumb and St. John's Women in Music (SWIM). The DJ-based workshop provides "a safe space for participants to support one another, access equipment, receive mentorship and build community" and will be led by Toronto's Chippy Nonstop.
 
There will also be panel discussions, artist talks, a film screening, readings, a record and press fair, pop-up shows and the family-friendly music crawls that have quickly become a beloved festival tradition.
 
The festival runs from May 10 to 13 in downtown St. John's. Find full festival information and updates over at the official Lawnya Vawnya website.
