Adelaide Fringe
24 February - 18 March 2012
The Adelaide Fringe is Australia’s largest arts’ festival. It runs for three weeks every February to March.
The Adelaide Fringe’s long history is a testament to its success. Adelaide’s well loved venues and “pop-up” venues provide fun and quirky locations to see great shows. Families are looked after with many family friendly events.
Open access
The Fringe is an open access event. This means that anyone can register in the categories cabaret, comedy, circus, dance, events, film, music, theatre and visual arts.
The much loved opening parade and celebrations start the festival off with a bang. They are held in the East End of Adelaide, in the parklands and Rundle Street precinct.
Annual event
Each year, the Adelaide Fringe program grows and there is plenty to delight you. The Adelaide Fringe promises even more quirky fun and frivolity - so expect the unexpected!
Second in size to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Adelaide Fringe is a buzz of locals and visitors from all parts of the world. This includes the acts!
Local and international talent
Artists from across the globe participate alongside home-grown talent, in all art forms. For independent artists, it’s an inspirational environment. For audiences, it’s an atmosphere that encourages people to take a chance on something new.
