What is Fringe?
Whangārei Fringe is a two-week multidisciplinary festival of weird and wonderful creativity! Theatre, circus, art, digital technology, music, poetry, cabaret, fashion, drag and more - anything and everything goes. This festival is run by creatives, for creatives. We work hard to keep costs minimal for artists: registration fees and venue costs are low, all income from ticket sales goes directly to the artists, and we provide technical support and mentoring. Whangārei Fringe also encourages artists to keep ticket prices low, so their shows are accessible to wider audiences. Are you ready? Let’s get weird! When is Fringe? With much sadness, the Whangārei Fringe Festival team announces the postponement of the 2021 festival, due to be held at multiple Whangārei venues from October 1 to 17. The festival team is working to reschedule the festival towards the end of 2021, and plans to announce new dates in the next few weeks. All media updates can accessed via the FRINGE NEWS tab on our main menu. Who is Fringe? All of us! Whether you attend a show, create an event, become a sponsor or are part of our team, you’re part of the Fringe community. Where is Fringe? Whangārei Fringe Festival happens at multiple venues across the city, from established venues to pop-up spaces. Check back at the end of August for a map. Why Fringe? Whangārei Fringe is a festival where exciting, eclectic artists collide with curious audiences. It’s a place to celebrate what makes us different, and experience moments that will stick with you. How to Fringe? Join a Fringe audience! Simply purchase tickets and attend shows during the festival. Become a Fringe artist! Create a show and register (or the other way round, we aren’t fussy). Sponsor the Fringe! We’re always looking to partner with like-minded people. |
