Sustainability
Little Food Festival has a strong commitment to reducing its impact on the environment.
To help us in our mission, we kindly ask you to bring your favourite mug or handy reusable cup, plus a water bottle along with you.
By doing so, we can eliminate single-use plastic at the festival completely. Vendors will accommodate your mug or cup when purchasing drinks and water fountains will be available on site.

We encourage low environmental impact travel, and your minimal footprint journey can begin as soon as you leave for the festival. With that in mind, there is ample bicycle parking around Fed Square (on Swanston and Flinders St), plus bus, tram and train options within close distance.)
