Melbourne Fringe Festival

This spring, Melbourne comes alive with bold creativity as the Melbourne Fringe Festival returns to celebrate the everyday action heroes among us.

From artists who challenge ideas to communities who spark change, the 2025 festival is all about the power of individual action—connecting, building, showing up, and making a difference.

Melbourne Fringe Festival

Running across venues and spaces citywide, Melbourne Fringe Festival is not here to tell you what to think—it’s here to invite you to feel, imagine, and take part. Expect cutting-edge performances, immersive art, comedy, cabaret, dance, music, and unexpected experiences around every corner.

So grab your metaphorical (or literal) cape and dive into a festival where creativity meets action.
