About TinyFest

A festival built on the radical idea that the best childhood memories are made together — fully present, deeply connected, and gloriously screen-free.

Why TinyFest exists

Parents dance, children discover.

TinyFest started with a simple question: what happens when you give families the same energy, production quality, and sense of wonder that great music festivals are famous for — and design the whole thing around kids?

The answer is a festival where the mosh pit is a craft village and the headline act is your kid’s genuine, undivided joy. Family culture doesn’t have to mean sitting still or lowering the bar.

We believe in real connection — the kind that doesn’t need a screen. Physical play, live music, shared meals, and the particular magic of a whole community showing up in the same place, at the same time, just to have a good time together.

What we stand for

Four things, non-negotiable.

together, not in parallel

Real connection

Every element of TinyFest is designed to pull people together — not to entertain them side by side. We back shared experience over passive consumption.

off screens

Screen-free joy

We build environments where unplugging feels natural, never forced. Big beats, open spaces, and hands-on play do the heavy lifting.

no kids’ corner

Family on the same level

No kids’ zone tucked away. No adults-only lineup. TinyFest treats every age group as a full participant in the festival.

Community over commerce

From local artisan vendors to community partnerships, we prioritise the ecosystem around the festival — not just the headline numbers.
