The St. Augustine branch of the American Association of University Women is hosting LUNAFEST 2022 on Saturday, April 23, 2022, from 6-9 PM at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center, 102 Martin Luther King Ave, St. Augustine.

Tickets for the event and for virtual screenings are $25 and may be purchased at www.lunafest.org.

Monies raised will go to support AAUW Florida Tech Trek camps for 8th-grade girls who have demonstrated an ability in science, technology, engineering, or math. Last year twenty 8th grade girls from St. John’s County attended virtual Tech Trek camps. The students only pay a $25 registration fee. The branch also raises money for college scholarships for students who have finished one or more years of college and live in St. Johns County.

Festival guests will enjoy a dessert bar during intermission.  Water is complimentary and wine and beer will be sold by Lincolnville Museum.  Tickets for raffle baskets will be sold to be distributed at the end of the evening.

LUNAFEST is a traveling film festival celebrating, showcasing, and championing women.  This year’s films challenge our perceptions about the world and spark conversation. Stories reflect the diverse perspectives of the filmmakers and their subjects.  It is advised that some material may not be suitable for children under 13. This year’s festival is comprised of eight (8) short films for a running time of 80 minutes.  For more information about the films and their filmmakers, visit www.lunafest.org.

The mission of the AAUW is to advance gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy.  Information about the St. Augustine branch is available at www.staugustine-fl.aauw.net.
