The Dunedin Fringe Festival is the wild heart of the arts in Ōtepoti: fresh and free-spirited, it's the place where art gets exhilarating and truly experimental. The Dunedin Fringe Festival is an annual 11-day event and the world's southernmost fringe festival! Dunedin Fringe is an open-access festival and all artists and performers are encouraged to take part - with 100% of ticket sales going to

the artists. Artists produce their own shows and need to register involvement. Registrations for the 2022 festival opened in October. Register by 6 December to feature in the printed guide. Full details can be found on our website: www.dunedinfringe.nz/artist-info
