Don’t miss the fun and excitement of the 2019 Adelaide Fringe and all it has to offer between 15 February and 17 March 2019!
The Adelaide Fringe has become the Southern Hemisphere’s largest (and Australia’s biggest ticket selling) open access arts festival since it began 58 years ago. The Fringe completely takes over Adelaide, our surrounding suburbs and even some regional areas of South Australia for 31 magical days and nights each year.
The atmosphere is indescribable, but here are some words that almost do the job; mythical, magical, fantabulous, fantasmagorical, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. You get the idea – the Adelaide Fringe is one in a million!
Venues big and small, pop-up and permanent house thousands of artists from all over Adelaide, Australia and the world. Around most of Adelaide’s corners, whether in an alleyway, a tent or a pub, you’ll be bound to find Fringe goodness in some shape or form.
The Adelaide Fringe is an open access festival which means that they don’t have a curator handpicking shows. Anyone who wants to be a part of the Adelaide Fringe can apply and with free events, ground breaking work, new talent, innovative thinking and original voices, there is something for everyone.

Simply search via the Children’s genre tab online or jump to page 32 of the guide. Each show has an age suitability guide and you can also search by date and venue.
