Best Of The Sydney Fringe Festival For Kids, Bubs And Preschoolers 2022

Whether you're after some comedy, culture, a boogie or something more insightful, there's something for everyone at this year's jam-packed Fringe Festival, where our city will be brought to life. Running from 1 September through to 30 September 2022, here are our top picks for all the littlies and their accompanying grown-ups.

The Sydney Fringe Festival is Back for 2022! 

Over 500 events are presented in over 70 venues across Greater Sydney each year during the Sydney Fringe Festival, the largest independent arts festival in New South Wales. The month of September brings together culture creators from across the city to present new work from all genres. 
 

FRINGE KIDS DAY

 

Following the success of the 2019 Fringe Kids program, the team are thrilled to return to Darling Quarter for 2022. Needless to say, this is the event which we are the most excited about.

It's only on for one day, but that single day is absolutely bursting at the seams with activities and interactive activities. 

Big and little kids will enjoy a jam-packed day at Sydney Fringe. A packed day of theatre, book boogies, poetry in action, interactive photobooths, roving entertainment, silent discos and retail scavenger hunts await.

A special 'Fringe Kids Week' will be held from 24 - 30 September in partnership with ARA Darling Quarter as an additional exciting aspect to the festival.

A jam-packed day of parkour workshops, juggling lessons, hooping your hips with hoola hoops, and Silent Disco boogies await you at Darling Quarter. And if all that is not exciting enough, there is a 360 photo booth installed for everyone to participate and get a unique memory to take home from the family fun day.  
Oh, and it's all FREE!
