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

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 parents dance and children discover. Where the mosh pit is actually a craft village and the headline act is your kid's genuine, undivided joy. TinyFest is proof that family culture doesn't have to mean sitting still or lowering the bar.

We believe in real connection — the kind that doesn't require a screen. We believe in physical play, live music, shared meals, and the particular magic that happens when a whole community shows up in the same place at the same time for no reason other than to have a good time together.

What We Stand For

Real Connection

Every element of TinyFest is designed to pull people together — not to entertain them in parallel. We foster shared experience over passive consumption.

Screen-Free Joy

We create environments where unplugging feels natural, not forced. Big beats, open spaces, and hands-on activities do the heavy lifting.

Family on the Same Level

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

Community Over Commerce

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

SFDP Entertainment

TinyFest is produced by SFDP Entertainment, a Kuching-based events and entertainment company founded by Kiyoshi Aihara. SFDP has spent years building a portfolio of live events that push the boundaries of what family entertainment looks like in Southeast Asia.

TinyFest is the flagship project: a festival that puts Borneo on the global family-festival map while staying rooted in the culture and community of Sarawak.
