In our backyard

In partnership with the Sandro Demaio Foundation, the City of Launceston is bringing the Melbourne-born Little Food Festival to Civic Square.

Since it began, the festival has welcomed thousands of children and families to explore, make, taste and learn through hands-on experiences.

Now it's Launnie's turn.

We're working alongside local producers, growers, makers and businesses to create a festival that celebrates Northern Tasmania's incredible food culture and gives children plenty of opportunities to get stuck in.

Testimonials

The Little Food Festival is a chance to spark not only children’s curiosity but their capacity to observe, understand and become engaged with the most important activity they do at least three to four times a day for the rest of their lives.
