Over the past four years, the Little City Festival has blossomed from a party in Sorauren Park to a gigantic annual festival. Such phenomenal growth is due to the herculean efforts of our co-presenters at The Little Paper and Rooster Studios, as well as the generous support of enough artists, sponsors and volunteers to populate a small city.
Just as Spanish towns rejuvenate daily by taking a siesta, the Little City team has opted to take 2013 off to recharge its collective battery. See you in 2014!
