Visit the Melbourne fringe

Fly to Melbourne, Australia this autumn and experience the fantastically quirky and unusual Melbourne fringe festival.

The festival has been running for 14 years after being founded in a disused pram factory in 1982 and is the largest celebration of independent arts in the country.

It aims to bring innovation, new ideas and a range of art and theatre to normal people and to be the most creative and extraordinary festival around.

By getting on a flight to Melbourne, you too could take part in the wide variety of activities going on from the 27th September to the 15th of October.

Art and theatre is present in any area that artists can get their hands on and no space in the city is off limits

The festival is sure to give you a real taste of Melbourne culture with roughly 90 per cent of the arts on display coming from the city itself.

The festival aims to involve the public, tourists and residents of the city as much as possible, not only by having them watch the shows and displays but also encouraging them to participate themselves.
