The Dunedin Fringe Festival will deliver another amazing programme of artistic experimentation and any artist can be part of it.
Now is the time to start planning your event for the 2020 Dunedin Fringe Festival which runs from 19-29 March. As an open access Festival we welcome all artists and all art forms. Anyone can register an event and be part of our next Festival.
