In a non-leap year, the 13th of Adar is Ta'anit Esther.
In leap years - like this year 5779- תשע"ט - we fast and celebrate Purim in Adar-II.
However, in Adar-I we mark the days as "Purim Katan".
One should eat a bigger meal to increase happiness on 14th of Adar-I. Even in "walled cities" where Shushan-Purim is celebrated (e.g. Jerusalem) this is done on 14th (not 15th) of Adar-I.
During Adar-I the Megila is not read, nor does one say עַל הַנִּסִּים.

Sunday, 12 Adar-I 5779
יוֹם אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר שֶׁבַּאֲדָר הָרִאשׁוֹן גַּם כֵּן אֵין אוֹמְרִים בָּהֶם לֹא תַחֲנוּן, וְלֹא אֵל אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם, וְלֹא לַמְנַצֵּחַ, וַאֲסוּרִין בְּהֶסְפֵּד וְתַעֲנִית. וּבְיוֹם אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר, מַרְבִּים קְצָת בִּסְעוּדָה
