Sydney Fringe Festival

The Sydney Fringe Festival is the largest independent arts festival in NSW. Spread across five cultural villages, the Sydney Fringe presents over 450 productions in over 80 venues every September, celebrating local artists and encouraging new audiences to experience the independent arts of Sydney in order to build a stronger more sustainable sector.

Every night in secret venues across town, Sydney's artists are conjuring up cultural gems, working tirelessly on their craft and cultivating the cultural heart of our city. Each September we invite you to join us, to discover, to experience and enjoy the wares of these incredible local artists.

The 2023 Festival attracted 100,000 people who immersed themselves in incredible work made and performed by over 2000 artists. From Spiegeltents to terrace houses, street closures to escape rooms we filled every corner of Sydney with fierce, brave, delicious, experimental and extraordinary work.
