Newcastle Fringe Festival is committed to supporting independent and emerging artists. Our vision is to continue to present the 'Biggest Little Fringe Festival in Australia', but we can’t do this alone!

We are run by a passionate group of volunteers. We have big goals for our performers and for our little Fringe Festival. We believe that Newcastle and the incredible creative talents we have here have the potential to put Newcastle on the map as one of the most exciting Fringe Festivals in the country!

Fringe is about freedom, fun and fearless creativity. We keep ticket prices low to ensure access for all members of our community; however, as all costs rise, so does our need for support. 

When you donate, you’re helping us to create memories, spark inspiration and support artists to do what they do best: Make art.

Thanks for your donation; your support is more valuable than you realise.
