Basically what is Little Penang about, it's a day where most of the Penang artist.. I mean like fine artist, handicraft artist, tee designer, chinese writing, origami, and things that are handmade. Penang-ite who interest to sell their stuff, they will given a booth/stall on that day after their registration with the Little Penang organizer.

For your information, there are some stalls that sell local food as well. Food like Laksa can be bought here. Drinks like honey, plum juice and maybe soya bean also can bought, but of course the price are affordable. You have no worries about thirsty when you are enjoying the performance there.

If you are interested in such special handmade thing, you should go have a look there. Other than they selling stuff, there will be performances by different people. And again, if you feel like showing off your talent in playing music, dancing, singing or some special performance u can do, you can register yourself or your band/team to perform on that day. It's a chance for you to promote your band/team.

oil, shampoo and something something

And also, not to forget, you will able to get some home made oil. Massage oil, body shampoo, virgin oil and so on. It's kinda cheap? I am not sure.. But I think for us might be a bit expensive.

So, that's some introduction about what is about Little Penang. If you are a tourist, try not to miss out the monthly event held at UPR. For local Penang-ite who haven't been there before but interested in arts and crafts thing. You can go there too.
