THE 2022 FESTIVAL PROGRAM IS HERE, AND
Okay (okay), alright, IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME! Three years in the making, the 2022 Melbourne Fringe Festival is back live and bigger than Priscilla Presley’s beehive.
2022 marks 40 years since the birth of Melbourne Fringe, and this Festival we’re looking back at where we’ve been, where we are now, and setting our vision for the future.In our most ambitious festival yet, we have over 450 events featuring everything from drag and dumplings to a mass participatory line dance. You can join our Fringe Parade, grab a drink and a show at RUNAWAY Festival Park, live through an apocalyptic fantasia in the back seat of a car, you can even catch a yabbie, have it cooked and then eat it (vego options are available).
With so much to see and do, we’ve made it easy for you to find that perfect Fringe event. Head to our website below and start your Fringe adventure today.
To celebrate our 40th birthday, we’re giving you the chance to save some sweet cash off your tickets with our 40 Hour Flash Sale. A juicy selection of shows are 25% off until 4pm Sunday 4 September!
