Healthy futures through good food
The time is now.
We have a once in a generation chance to help our kids understand that they have the power to change their future.
Early childhood experiences profoundly change how our kids understand the world around them.
And what we teach kids about good food, the foods items and the environment today, creates the building blocks for what their food habits will look like in the future.
The Little Food Festival is an opportunity to re-write what the future will look like for our kids and planet.
Program
During the April 2024 school holidays, kids rolled up their sleeves up to plant seedlings, dived into the world of bush food, unleashed their creativity in craft activities, mastered the art of preparing nutritious meals and more!
The Little Food Festival 2024 is not just a great school holiday event; it's an opportunity for kids to reimagine the future for themselves, their families, communities, and the planet.
Message from the Lord Mayor of Melbourne
Children are invited to play, eat and discover until their hearts and bellies are content, at the Little Food Festival. This family-friendly event at Federation Square encourages kids to explore the food system, and how their food choices affect their health and the environment.
The City of Melbourne is proud to support the festival, a great hands-on opportunity for our budding gardeners, cooks and diners. Planting seeds, exploring bush food, preparing delectable meals – the fun festival program encourages everyone to have a go. Congratulations to the organisers.
