Get out your diaries and blast the group chat. The bayside’s biggest arts festival is back and is a must-see this November/December.
Wynnum Fringe is back from November 15 to December 3. Fresh from accepting the most prestigious award – the Gold Matilda – in the Queensland Arts Industry Awards, Tom Oliver and the Fringe team are committing to another three years of arts in the bayside.
As you may know, the Festival began as a Covid recovery effort in 2020 to employ artists and bring the community together. In three short years, the event has grown from three days to three weeks.
Last year Wynnum Fringe welcomed 36,000 patrons across ticketed and free activations, and the goal this year is to increase that by at least 50%.
This year’s lineup will be announced at a special local launch event on September 26; tickets for this event are now on sale. Head to wynnumfringe.com before they disappear. This event gives special access to the new festival lineup and the ability to get tickets before they are released to the public on September 28.
The team is currently gathering artists and sponsors to make sure the event continues to grow. This would not be possible without founding partner, Margaret Vote from Raine & Horne Wynnum Manly. If you’re a business owner or local legend keen to support the festival, reach out to their brand new Partnerships Manager, Manly local and founder of Celebrate For A Cause, Tracey Lucock, at [email protected].
