Dunedin Fringe Festival

The world’s southernmost Fringe is back in Ōtepoti/Dunedin to bring together artists both locally and internationally to connect with local audiences with their experimental new shows.

Audiences can expect the full gamut of human emotions in our 2024 line-up with; comedy, theatre, music, exhibits, interactive performances, and everything in between. Dunedin Fringe creates a unique opportunity for locals to have one-of-a-kind adventures and give tangible support to both new and established artists.

Fringe is excited to collaborate with Dunedin Pride for the second time during Dunedin Pride Month. From 14-24 March, the Community Gallery at 26 Princes St will transform into the Dunedin Pride x Fringe Hub, providing an all-ages venue for collaborative programming that uplifts the local LGBTQIA+ community.

Dunedin Fringe has opened three different types of Artist Grants this year, with the Pacific, General and newly created Māori Artist Grants. A total of $34,000 was awarded, allowing 18 artists to receive tangible support, helping bring their ideas to life.
