Little People of America National Convention

By: © Nelson Taylor 2008

Festival Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA

Festival State: Minnesota Festivals

Festival Type: Bizarre Festivals


You can call them little people, dwarfs and those short of stature, but don't call them midgets, munchkins, pip squeaks or shrimps, that is unless you want a set of dentures forever embedded in your kneecaps. In 1957, the legendary little man Billy Bart, put LPs on the map by making a public plea for solidarity, giving birth to the Little People of America National Convention.

Now hundreds of LPs gather every year in various places around America to greet, meet, dance, play sports and yes, look for love. Also on hand every year is the Dwarf Expo, which displays products for our vertically challenged friends, such as adaptive driving equipment, clothes, furniture, books etc. -- things most people take for granted. There are also counseling seminars available. Both dwarfs and non-dwarfs of all ages are welcome. Remember that this is an annual traveling convention, so be sure to inquire about future locations for this July event.
