Little Day Out



Sunday 20 July

Presented by Ipswich Festivals and Verso Projects.

Little by name but BIG on FUN

With a focus on sustainability, Little Day Out is bursting with music, hands-on art experiences, food trucks and roving entertainment.

Join us for “dirtgirl’s Garden Party” musical eco-adventure with a female hearted, four-piece band set to bring a fresh and vibrant sound and “poptomistic” tunes to this year’s event!

Gather your festival crew to sing, dance, create and play. Community Kaleidoscope, building cubbies and fairy villages, seedpod painting, nature jewellery, build a bee, a silent disco with haptic vests and straps are all part of the Little Day Out experience.
