LITTLE TOWN, BIG EVENTS
LITTLE A TOWN ARENA SADDLES UP FOR BIG EVENTS IN 2025
Sitting on top of an area overlooking downtown Avella lies a true hidden gem – one visitors and locals alike cannot stop talking about. While some may think Avella to be a quiet town, there is a place right in its heart that is set to become the region’ s next big draw: Little A Town Arena.
A staple of the downtown Avella scene since 2007, Little A Town is rearing to go bigger and better in 2025 with some serious down-home events. Originally known as the Avella Arena, the 12-acre property has long been a hub for equestrian and motorsport events. Its 2024 rebranding signaled a new chapter, allowing the venue to host larger and more diverse events, such as the September 2024 Bulls, Barrels & Broncos Rodeo, which drew over 2,000 attendees.
Little A Town Arena is an integral part of Avella’ s growing attractions, which include dining, outdoor adventures, and rich historical experiences. Its proximity to attractions like Meadowcroft Rockshelter & Historic Village, Cross Creek County Park and Breezy Heights Tavern make it a mustsee addition to any visitor’ s itinerary when in the area.
Little A Town Arena is committed to supporting the community through its nonprofit mission. Proceeds from the arena’ s events directly benefit local organizations like the Avella Volunteer Fire Department, Avella’ s Future Farmers of America Chapter, Avella Athletics, and the townships of Independence and Cross Creek. Past initiatives, such as the Fall Flea Market, have exemplified the arena’ s dedication to giving back.
The organizers behind the arena have ambitious plans for what comes next, but above all, Little A Town’ s future lies in the fact that it has become a well-loved home for both the locals and visitors the arena gladly welcomes to its close-knit community in Avella. By staying true to its mission of community support, Little A Town Arena continues to serve as a pillar of local pride and a venue worth keeping your eye on.
In 2025, the arena is gearing up for its most exciting season yet. Events like Band Blast, the Little A Town Rodeo, Pow-Wow & Mountain Man Rendezvous, and Bulls, Barrels & BBQ promise to make it a year of which visitors will not want to miss even a moment.
