Little Day Out
Sunday 20 July
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.
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 + so much more all part of the Little Day Out experience.
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!
Little Day Out programming is focused on children aged 10 and under.
Presented By Ipswich Festivals
